LJ Saturday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hali bit a green Mac fished right on the bottom. Mostly I was dropping iron to have some thing to do cause I find bottom fishing kinda boring. Thought id be fishing frozen squid on the dropper loop so i had a 7/0 aki twist hook tied on. I left the squid in the car n didn't notice till I was out passed the reserve. I went ahead n fished the Mac on the big hook. Liked the result. Most halibut seam to come up just barely hook. This one had the hook in its mouth and the bend coming out about 2" back from its jaw. No way that hook was coming out. And the aki twists have long shanks so the line wasnt on its teeth. Might have to give the short shank circles I usually use a break until fly line time. Mike
