Unfortunately, the downrigger video of the bite was far more important to me than the fish. Finally got a big fish bite, that stuck, on the camera rig and the camera malfunctions out of nowhere.

I have watched your underwater footage so many times, and this for sure would have been the best. i guess it like fishing you can't land them all.

Congrats on your PB fish.

DanaPT · 09-29-2013, 05:12 PM

saw the video again, and want to see a pic of that fish and all its glory! post up...

GregAndrew · 09-29-2013, 06:14 PM

No good shots holding it. But I got some interesting tape shots.

Fish had a relatively small egg sac, but a really thick top filet. IDK, my PBs keep getting shorter and heavier. Maybe it is the water? Chernobyl? Global Warming? Dinotopia?

Congratulations! You still looked smoooooooth!

Old Man in the Sea · 09-29-2013, 07:41 PM

Very cool - Could not have be caught by a nicer guy!!!

Fiskadoro · 09-29-2013, 08:31 PM

Hellofafsh Greg!!!!! Congrats.

todd one · 09-30-2013, 12:04 AM

Very nice! I enjoy all your videos. I try to pattern myself after you by remaining cool and calm. I still get a little excited when reeling a big Hali in. I'm working on it.

wow nice fish!

DannyN · 09-30-2013, 07:44 AM

Very nice fish

William Novotny · 09-30-2013, 08:02 AM

I like the comparison on the two measurements. My question is this, when dfg measures for legality do they do a flat tape measure or what? Congrats on the beautiful fish. Did you get a weight?

jorluivil · 09-30-2013, 08:03 AM

You can tell from the shots that the hali is super thick.

How thick was it? Based on the length and weight I'm guessing at least 5inches.

GregAndrew · 09-30-2013, 11:50 AM

The DFW uses a board, so it will be flat, slid up mouth first and closed to a stop on the end.

I did not get a measurement of the thickness Jorge. It was the most difficult filet job I have had on the top side though.

When Greg says he has a personal best at anything then it's time to pay attention...

Congrats Professor GregAndrews!!
