Couple of days at the Jewel - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Nice fish and pics. Glad you and your brother had a good day.
I guess you don't need those extra rods anymore... You obviously only need one which will make launching and landing alot easier. CONGRATULATIONS.

Thanks guys. I was pretty stoked to see such a big Hali and was amazed I landed the YT.

Yeah buddy! Nice couple days fishing

I've hooked a few big fish on the sabiki, but never been fortunate enough ( or had the patience) to get them in. Congrats

Nice couple of days. I hope your brother does not think that Halibut like that are just laying around everywhere out there?

But cummon, tacos really? That is what they make rockfish for.

You know that fileted California Halibut goes for about $23/lb and whole it is about $10/lb. Anyway you slice it up, or not, that is one hell of a catch.
