Caught my first halibut

[Bruntoj]

28 inches. Didn't weigh it. Any guesses?

On a related note: 6 knotted garbage bag layers around the carcass is not enough to prevent an unholy trash can smell in a garage on day 4. Wife is not so happy. Next time I'll be doing a drive-by drop off somewhere.

freeze carcass and then throw it out on trash day.

Nice job! You catch that bad boy by the YMCA?

Yes, but halfway towards the freeway, middle of lagoon, not next to the YMCA where the float tube guys tend to congregate.

Now you know why. Congrats.

Nice score!

Rad! I've seen those float tubers pull some huge hali's out of there on live bait. I always opted for the 1oz head + 5" swim bait, fishing with the current and slowly bouncing the bottom! I think there is a ridge right there where they congregate, goes from 5 feet to 20 feet real quick.

X2, or better yet take it back to the water to feed the critters.
