grunion run - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Last year I fished a run at a SD beach targeting halibut. No love on the metal or plug I was tossing, but as one wave receded I heard some mad flopping, turned to see a beached hali whiteside up!

Ran over to see if I could tail it to get a look, got a hand on it and got pummeled by the next wave, so never got to tape it. Probably short, but close to legal and had my heart pumping for a minute there. I like to think there's a lot of them in close and the one I saw was an overzealous juvenile.
