Ya just never really know for sure unless you see it. Ive had halibut come up motionless until 10 or so feet from the surface and then start fighting back...and ive had em fight you all the way...you just dont know.

Based on the info you provided I'm sure Mr. Elite (Stinkymatt) will know for sure what you
was on your line. He's busy checking Team Sewer Applications right now but as soon as he's done...........................

Well,
Which way was he swimming prior to the break off? West- east or north -south? Did the line vibrate or just a steady pull? If I had to venture a guess(very highly educated guess). It was a 23 to 28 pound Hali. Congrats on the fight with the mystery trophy.

It is illegal to fish in salt water with a 6# leader

Unless you are working on the photo part of the Team Sewer application. Then it depends on how much fiber and coffee you have working your system. My first legal halibut ever came up as complete dead weight until the surface. More recent have fought and had the telltaleheadshakes. But my judgment may be clouded by the disbelief that I actually have something other than bait at the end of my line. |
