Nice fish Greg. Did you get the fight on video? It would be cool to see your halibut gear all doubled over and pushed to the max.

Excllent job to you and Wade both to make sure that this story had a happy ending.

Everything has it's place and everything important is strapped down. I missed the first couple minutes of the fight on video but got the rest (along with most of the next hour of paddling cause I forgot to turn it off). Can't upload the video to my moms computer so I have to wait till I get home. Caught it on something slightly heavier than my Halibut rods (slightly).:biggrinjester:

Yeah greg beauty man...... Im sure that fought slightly better than a butt...:cheers1:

Nice job Greg way to go get em. :jig:

Here is the video.

Congrats on your first, :eek:, Yellowtail, Greg.




Oh yeah, you can take the same photo with the fish properly secured. I absolutely refuse to take anyone's photo if the fish isn't properly secured. Mind you, I'm a stickler when it comes to keeping the game-clip out of the photos, though. :D

At least, luckily, there was someone around to swim down and retrieve your coveted prize. That's a one in a million shot in itself. I can't fathom paddling, for years, to catch a Yellowtail and losing it! You don't want more bad-juju, Yellowtail Karma, do you? :biggrinjester:
