Hahaha! You have a knack for timing the photos. That was my dumb luck fish.
My acronym for the day is KISS.

Met up with Andy yesterday at San Ono. Was on a beach vacation with the family, so I packed light...super light. Borrowed a Mini-X from Andy just in case I could find some time to sneak out and fish. Forgot my real rods, so i only had my 6-12 lb rated surf fishing spinning rod, a few leadheads, and a pack of gulp grubs.
Somehow ended up dumb-luck blind-casting into a decent halibut, and by even more dumb-luck, somehow landed it.
Andy had his good camera OTW and snapped some killer pics, and then he got a bath by the fish when I had him come over to borrow his gaff to use as a club.
This thanksgiving I'm thankful for a lot, but mostly for Halibut...and for dumb luck
