WTG! Is that outside of oceanside harbor? I've done a few trips to the buoy and outside the surfzone to the pier for no luck. I nailed 1 26'' inside the harbor by the entrance last year, I remember when inside the harbor was epic back in the day but not anymore :/
Anyway, congrats on the nice butt!

the thing about halibut is, they always bite when you least expect it. even dedicated beginners have a shot at trophy-sized fish

Congrats! Nice first butt.

I find that sometimes the sailboats out of Dana really like to get up close and personal with the kayaks.... Havent had them help me land a butt tho!

What, no mention of the guy who told you where to look and how to rig? How about that on-the-water cell phone coaching?

At least you dropped off a filet!
