Nice job on the Hali....... Definitely would have been cool to see pics of that pup up on the 'yak. I was out today as well and would like to add to the report......
Went around to the point @ 6:30.. Got the to the kelp and sent some fresh dead down a pothole section with

on the brain. I have fishing A.D.D. so didn't last long in there soaking squid. Made my way outside a bit to pick up something that moves. Made about half dozen nice greenbacks and sent them down reverse dropper style. After an hour or so, finally get picked up......
Looked close so slapped him on the tape and

he is just 22". I don't own a subscription to "Barely Legal" so quick photo then let him go so he could grow!
Had some decent size 'cuda chasing my swimbait and raked it up good...just didn't commit. Seems like the fish sense spring is here so hopefully as the water warms....it will pick up a bit more.
