My foolish, yet well-laid plans for catching halibut were foiled by large swirls in the distance. Paddled over and had three cracks at 'em with the megabait. Finally konked one on the head and he bit back. Went a bit over 24#.
Good seeing you out there Brad and thanks for the pics Todd. I tried hailing you on the radio 'cuz the tails were swirling around the whole time I was reeling this one in. Guess nobody uses those things any more - or mine just doesn't work right. Once I got him on board they sunk out and I didn't see them again.
Good luck out there.
