Let me know if you ever need a partner!! I've been wanting to explore more of SD Bay on my kayak instead of a boat as well.

[Aaron&Julie]

Very nice, congrats on your PB.

He was missing quite a few teeth, wonder if a game clip does damage?

Wow, i just did a trade of frozen halibut chunks for fresh ahi caught today by another kayak fishing brother on a private boat. Thanks bro. Was planning on eating semi fresh halibut but guess I'll be eating super fresh ahi instead

I love this sport and the comradery

Duuuude, I forgot my hat on an offshore trip of 13 hours last week, I am glad for the hair or I would have got fried.

My wife tells me like ever day she going to cut it all off.

Jim, very nice catch on the WSB. Hey if you ever need some company at night on a low swell evening, just let me know

I don't recall who told me this but I was told that whenever divers catch trophy halibut they always run the clip/stinger through their eyes instead of through the gills and mouth so that the clip doesn't damage their teeth.

I do the same thing while spear fishing. Not so much to save the teeth, more so because it's nice and secure and it subdues the fish real fast. I usually do it while the butt is still pinned to the sand with my spear. I'm not sure if a spike thru the eyes brains the butt or not butt it stops the fight pretty fast. I make sure the stringer is thru the eyes and closed before I let off pressure from the spear that is still pinning the butt to the sand.

We are also using a totally different type of stringer which is a three inch pointed spike attached to about 3 feet of 200lb mono which is attached to a clip that you attach back to the spike.
