That early evening wsb bite with Tyler and Brad was first on my list until this 36# yt kicked my butt last week - definitely earned my respect. This biggun fought like a BSB on speed - my left shoulder's still hurting.

Arne, good to see you're out there still killing them. This is my first and only legal sized butt that weighed in at 32 lbs. On it's first ascent to the surface it did a U-turn and with a slap of the tail almost jarred my glasses loose. I gaffed and secured her with a stringer on the second time around and then proceeded to beat the hell out of her before bringing her aboard. Thanks again Adi for the checklist on how to land a halibut.

There's something about the threshers fight, the crazy speed, wild change of directions, monster jumps, and then getting cracked by the tail at the end that gets the heart thumping.

Different fish, same fun.

Maybe his hand was caught in the rakers, or he was just bleating, but this was my fav of the year.

That guy is practicing some high notes. Deep Purple’s Child In Time, you know that part when they start building it up.

Gills...

my thumb was stuck in the corner. Gills snapped on to my thumb...

Love hurts Art.

Love the pic.

But that's for The Best Photo Biatch 2007 category...
