I noticed that the bite is on from sunrise to about 9:30, then it's completely dead. Maybe I need to change up the colors...

22.5" to 23", not huge but my first keeper.

never ever give up halibut secrets around here . congrats on the fat fish . definitely listen to the experts . that would be one hard to release , but nothing is worth the cost of getting caught .
