Ain't that the truth.... You go from excitement to a little afraid when you see its a big halibut rising up toward your kayak because its far from over.

-Its when the battle begins.

It very well might be the kayak record. The only other #53+ was caught from a tandam kayak. Some guys here have landed 50's and 52's, but I don't recall a #53 fish being caught.

Ask Josh about his fish it was right around that number, he would probably would know.
