Roadx,

Caught in Alaska...
but still a nice fish,
so I guess THE DARKHORSE does have some halibut skills...

Well, yeah...kind of...


After all the Yellowtail and White Sea Bass I've caught, this is still my favorite fish and photo. As a matter of fact it's been my screen saver since I caught her. She gave an incredible, trophy fight, and I'll never forget the sight of her at color.

To be quite honest, after catching a few in the forty pound class prior, I was terrified when I saw her below the kayak. All fish look bigger when they're 10' below, but she looked silly at depth. Subconsciously, I think I was hoping she would freak out and buck back to the bottom and cut me off or something. I'll just say I wasn't looking forward to sinking the gaff.

I guess I'm as retired from Halibut fishing as I am from competition. After all, every day you fish is a competition if you asked me; a competition with yourself and all the variables associated with the ocean.

It's a shame Halibut don't put up much of a fight; until they're huge that is. Well, at least while they're on the line anyway. I don't think it's a secret; I'd much rather catch White Sea Bass and Yellowtail.

I'll contribute to the tournament pot. With my work schedule and now a newborn not sure how much I'll get out fishing local waters (reason most of my post are vacations ). But all who frequent this board on a regular basis should join and support WCW $25 bucks, not bad. Better to submit your fish here right? as it does mean you got a WHOPPER!

Of course admin could put a lock so only individuals in the tournament can see the post, that way to see the good fishing reports you have to be part of it

Anyway, I have a couple fishing trips planned this year already. Don't fear the competition!

just made my contribution to the jackpot. Being that in my two years of kayak fishing all I have caught at La Jolla is a halibut I hope the winner enjoys my donation!

Maybe this will change my luck...

Well, since it is pretty much a lock for The Darkhorse to win, I think he should run a promotion where anyone who enters WCW now has a $25 credit towards guide service.

If you can't beat em, join em.

For the record, I plan on beating him and I'll gladly pay full fare.

I think I just joined, if I did the paypal thingy right. I figure I have given enough money to Josh....what is a little more. I had in error thought that this thing was running from Jan 01 and that I had missed a 1/3 of it in AFG. Not the case. Good luck all. Even Sharon.
