Halibut Saturday! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

mcj229 · 02-13-2010, 11:43 AM

This is my first catch, my fifth trip with my buddy James, the Frugalfisher, my biggest fish ever- all true!

Kick Ass!! Great Dinner!

I caught it on a Carolina rig with a Pacific Mackerel in 95 ft. I was only out for an hour or so. Good Day!

Well done!
Nice first fish from the yak.

Those things die hard don't they?!
A whole different experience when you have to haul it into your lap!

Congratulations.

Willy

How much did it weigh?

Nice fish, but that is setting the bar high for your next one. I think that was the only keeper out there today.

Nice halibut.

Did the fish go nuts when it reached the surface ? There is always a story behind a halibut catch.

Yeah Dude! Hope you don't catch as bad of an addiction as some of us have now

Heluva fish for a first on a kayak, congrats!

I have a feeling the pics don't do the justice... that's a big head on that brown mama. Nice job!
