Congrats on the win. That is a monster, and to pull it off on a tourny day is even better. Great story and timing catching fresh Hali for the family dinner.

Hell Yea............nice fish Bro!!

Congrats!
 

:notworthy: Gabe, mega-props for the fitting tribute to your father, and secondly the tournament winning fish of a lifetime. I find it hard to believe, that moments like this were'nt meant to be. I'm truly thankful to be a spectator in these situations, as it was a blessing to witness.

........Oh yeah, nice fish Mr.Tsujichi, and I would like to thank the two of you for kicking off the late summer Halibut bite. I will pound that spot till it's dry ;).

Josh,
It was a pleasure to meet you on the beach. Good luck pounding the sand and hope you get a trophy fish.

Tight lines

Gabe

All the splashing she started doing when you gaffed her the fist time is what got my attention. The wake around your boat was telling a big halibut story... When I realized the whole landing process was taking a while, I started paddling your way as I figured help may be needed. I didn't recognize you right away... I got nervous as hell as I saw the size of that thing, and only the "game clip jewelry" on it without a rope. :eek: Your hands were shaking in excitement... :)

I was happy to land you my game clip, I'm sure anyone would be. I was stoked to see you secure that mommy. Awesome fish for an awesome win! :cheers1:

First drift over that spot after you left I got picked up. I lifted heavy weight about 2 feet up, got one headshake and it was gone... Dropped back down and got the replay of the same scenario... Pulled up the sardine that was instantly dead with unmistakable halibut toothmarks, and 2 deep angled slashed down to the bone... :o

Next time the whore bit, she chose Grego.... :D

Beautiful fish for you guys, another awesome Moyer tournament. Thanks to Jim, Matt, OEX, all the sponsors and everyone involved.

Your word choice cracks me up!lol

:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

Nice job Gabe!

I love to see the good guys win as much as I like to see the sore losers lose. I got both!!!!

Adi,

Can't wait to share some on the water time with you again. The way you were shouting, I lept telling myself stay calm, stay calm. Definately had my blood flowing.
