Nice going Brad. is that a fish between your legs or are you just happy with the big flattie?

I believe this kind of fish is also used for carpeting of kayaks

Tyler is a serious carpet bagger. lol Sorry I yelled like a little girl and attracted all the tourists when I saw your fish, I was stoked for ya.

After a good weekend of albie fishing with Mike on the "Gloryhull", it was time to return to the plastic. Day started out well....

...then got better. Trap rigged greenie gets hit. I thought it was hung on kelp for minute and gave a jerk. Popped free but felt suspicious, so I sent it back down. As soon as it hit the bottom it got whacked. Felt the headshakes right away and was pretty sure it was big and flat. Came up pretty easily and awaited the gaff hanging vertically. Stuck her in the shoulder and she just laid there while I stringered. Tried to lift her up for a pic when all hell broke loose. She beat the crap out of me and the yak and almost tipped me at one point. Finally got her back under control and she was done after that.

Weighed in at 44.8 on the OEX certified scale. Long and thick but a little narrow. YT was 25ish, long skinny male, blind in one eye.

Nice flattie...wish I could get out there more, may try for a middday next week if I can come up with a good enough tale for the boss who fishes.

Definitely would like to get one of those bigger model halis like you guys have been getting...will have to pass on the outfit thoughlol
Sorry Brad, couldn't resist....
