1/26 DP Surprise
 
Have you ever had a big halibut morph into a leopard shark ...........I have but never the opposite. Yesterday afternoon around 2pm. I had launched at 11 and picked up some 5-7 inch dines. Pretty afternoon, funky lil wind swell, but light winds were perfect. 2 hours without a bite so I made a move to an area I had not tried and stumbled on several biters, one on plastic that felt really heavy before it unbuttoned, another good one shook the hook at color, a 26 incher and big finish with the first REALLY big halibut for me from Dana Point. 32 pounder that looked 50 at color :D
Looooong fish. I would never have expected to find one this big in 10 feet of water in January. Seigler Reel on a custom Calstar 8 footer, 25# flouro, #1 hook.

Nice work... Those bigguns will keep you edge on the deck.

maquinapescado 01-28-2018 01:24 PM

Oh Yeah!
 
Nice one Andy. I can't wait to finally wet some lines. Just moved into a new house. Got a few weeks of unpacking and organizing to do and I'll be ready to hit it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Iceman 01-29-2018 09:16 AM

Holy moly this was last nights spin on fish tacos as a lettuce wrap.......22 days of no grains, sugar or dairy, so we made this mayo for the adobo Baja sauce and it was crazy tasty.

That looks really good Andy. Nice job catching that big flattie in close, almost everyone else is out looking in 100'-180'. I pounded some beach sand over the weekend, super low surf and offshore winds made it possible to get in really close, fished from around 6' to 12' or so, but nothing but raked baits for me.

kayakfisherman 01-29-2018 06:15 PM

You're treading on thin ice...
First, the halibut, then Cassidy...
What's next? Baja without me??

h2ofishfo 02-04-2018 09:30 AM

Just curious you use a willow blade on your slider sinker ? And doesn’t spin right when your dragging it ?

Iceman 02-05-2018 08:46 AM

Just happened to see it as I was rigging and decided to tie it on attached to swivel and just a slow fluttering drift adding a lil flash, so no line twisting.

Fiskadoro 02-05-2018 02:43 PM

JCHAPIN 02-07-2018 06:23 PM

Nice butts! The Seigler reels are legit. My 2 PB YT have been on a Truth SS, and recently on a Seigler SGN. Both at 36lbs. I have yet to land a barn door. Thanks for the motivation.

JamesM 02-08-2018 10:20 AM

Nice fish! Huge Congrats!

aftahour 02-08-2018 07:48 PM

Nice haul Andy. Bet that was a fun fight. :reel:

Baja Marty 02-11-2018 12:06 PM

Excellant!! And in 10' of water? Andy that's one helluva nice butt!

Love the gourmet pics too.
