Where was that held - specifically ? Somewhere in Cook Inlet ? What an awesome calm day to kayak fish. Congratulations on second place, just a meal in the gut away from first -- close competition. I was on the Valdez/Nikiski tanker run a few years back, so I appreciate those calm days as I got to experience much of the opposite(iced up decks and blistering cold wind). I have enjoyed your previous reports, and like the way you video documented the harpooning method to subdue big halibut. A fish of that size cannot be just gaffed in the head and clubbed into submission without a risk of capsizing into deadly cold water. Looked like the harpoon pole was a converted golf club ? Do you ever target Kenai river class trophy Kings from the kayak ?
