Congrats on the score
Fish of a life time?
I never cared for that expression,
your still alive, so keep on fishing!
You never know...you just might get it's 60lb sister!

But that is one helluva trophy for sure

Ain't that the truth.... You go from excitement to a little afraid when you see its a big halibut rising up toward your kayak because its far from over.

-Its when the battle begins.

It very well might be the kayak record. The only other #53+ was caught from a tandam kayak. Some guys here have landed 50's and 52's, but I don't recall a #53 fish being caught.

Ask Josh about his fish it was right around that number, he would probably would know.

Ain't that the truth. Completely different kind of battle, one that I always have "weapons" at the ready for after being bitten, slapped, and hooked by those glorious fish.

I'd love to hear the longer version of this story of how it all went down.
