Gotta go with the 42# yellow hooked in 1 fathom.

I caught this, well, right were the pic was taken....

25lb WSB caught on 25lb test with 2oz egg sinker carolina rigged to 20 lb mono w/ 2/0 circle hook

My favorite part of this story is that I was completely hungover from a concert and didn't hit the water until 10am. Fish on at 11am. Boo yah!

First fish of 2007 for me...43.5

Catching my first WSB was awesome, especially since it went 49.8lbs. and
I was targeting WSB for several months before my first.

But, by far, my favorite catch was this 29lb. YT caught in Baja. I was
fishing Isla San Martin, saw a bird hover over a small boil. I casted an iron and
BAM! I was on. The fight that ensued was where the drama was. The fish
ran and headed for the only kelp within 20 miles and several times I thought
I lost him in the kelp. After a couple more runs and about 20 minutes,
he was finally in my yak.

By the way, the fish was caught in a kayak. This shot was taken once
we got the yaks back to Kelly's boat (of K&M fishing in San Quintin).

Not the biggest wsb of the year for me, but it was good enough for the Derby win. 43lb 13oz on the beach.

started the bite, I got one, then Brad finished up for a triple limit paddle in.

You’ve got to love these end-of-the-year threads…

This is probably my favorite fish this year - 28.5# halibut that I roped a few hours after loosing a huge halibut at the gaff...

Best part - it was only a couple of days after I posted "halibut landing checklist"...

And I lost that fish 100% by my own mistake…

I pounded the area where the 1st one signed in for quite some time, all frustrated...

Then I finally decided to move away...
Within 20 minutes, I connected with this lady.
