Good day
 

Went out in DP today, water was 60 and fairly calm. Managed to catch 3 halibut all between 24-26 inches. Was trying out my new rod and reel( Daiwa Saltiga G rod and saltist 30) very nice combo. I finally got a double hook. Caught the first one right around high tide on a sardine rigged to a three way swivel with 2 oz of weight. Then I went back and redid the drift hooked up again, when I got him to color the other rod goes bendo. Landed the second one on the net then went to the other rod. When I got that one up he's a keeper as well. At this point the net already has a hali in it so I grab the gaff and while trying to gaff it in the mouth I actually gaff my hook and break the fish off. Lesson learned deal with one at a time.

I've seen that hit and miss happen....funny as hell to watch.

Since I already had one halibut it was very funny.

Nice job out there...it's getting warmer, temps up here in Ventura were in the 60's the rockfish turned on later in the day....nice day OTW:reel:
