All the same, that is a beautiful fish to be caught from a kayak and you should be proud.

Cheers,

KM

KM - Not sure what your problem is. A 45.5" California halibut is gonna weigh 35lbs easy. No need for a scale shot.

Mr. JB - Nice flattie!

As I said, that is a gorgeous halibut and congratulations. I'd love to see a picture of it out of the yak. The big one I caught in December did noting, I thought I had about an 8-lb fish on. It wasn't until the Chesapeake Bay Retriever decided to help that things got interesting.

Thanks T-Rex, Steve, Greg, and everyone. I did not realize that I would have to justify my catch to "KeptMan".

Everyone enjoys a pat on the back once and a while, and for this I am quilty. I don't fish to be better than anyone else, nor do I post all my catches, or even put my ugly face in the pics. I thought most fishermen and fisherwomen would rather look at the fish rather than me or the scale. When fishing is not so stellar, I thought a pic of a nice fish might provide a little motivation.

So just to justify...this time only... here ya' go... Next time you get just the damn fish!

Nice butt.
Well said, but next time take a photo of the fish on the scale not you pulling on it until it reads 30+ lbs oh and be sure its a certified scale
