Are you sure that’s 29”? That thing looks a lot smaller to me.

Liveaction13 · 07-24-2018, 08:02 PM

Yes I'm sure it's 29 I measured it in a hobie hawg trough.

Congrats on catch but damn guy chill the hell out. Ive been on these forums for a few years and never seen anyone react to a post like you did. My first impression was that it does look small but prob dont help your a tall dude.

Dont be discouraged. Good work getting out and getting lucky. Hard to follow the "big day" halibut post.

I can see how it would look small....
To be fair, nothing about the way the photo was taken does you any favors. Camera’s too far away and the leading lines from the brick path make you and the fish look even smaller. On top of that, not fixing the orientation creates a further emphasis. Ah shit. This isn’t my photography forum, is it?

That anger will prolly put you in an early grave.
Take a breath, bud. Congrats on the fish
