No YT...No WSB...just off the water report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Didn't see much at all in LJ today but got this as by-catch. 39"...27# and change. Large greenie with the circle hook. Matt's actions/comments/advice gets big credit on this one:

Matt says to me "I always fish one rig on or near the bottom in case I drift over a halibut"...So soon after I get rid of my flylined rig and put a rig near the bottom

Matt says "I'm going to make a turn here and drift with the current"...I follow

Matt says "hey look at your rod, you're getting bit"...I set the hook and proceed fighting this fish very close to Matt

Matt says "that thing's pretty big, would you like me to gaff it for you?"...I say, no I'll do this on my own thank you
