What A Year

Though 2016 was a slow year of catching for me it was one of the best years ever tournament wise. Starting to fish on week 4 of a 10-week challenge meant that I had to put a lot of time on the water and fishing not only against private boaters, cattle boats and other kayakers but against guys like Greg and Tony who took 1st place in the MDR Halibut Derby wasn't going to make it any easier. Fast forward a few weeks and the tournament is over, I take 2 of the 6 categories with a 40lb halibut and a 32lb WSB, the halibut becomes the 4th or 5th halibut in the 40lb class that I’ve caught from a kayak, I claim approximately $10k in cash and prizes................what a year


Let’s see what 2017 brings

I am in AWE.

I saw you catch a WSB and a hali in one day, and I am still waiting for my first of either. You help encourage me to keep putting time on the water, and I know my time will come. I was able to get a BSB and a couple of short WSB, so thanks to you and others on BWE I think I have the basics down pretty good. Good luck again this year!

Yep I agree! I think overall it was a tough year as far as Halibut fishing goes. But Fantastic year overall, for Team Sewer. I caught a decent halibut every month except March and December. Caught the big 3... Halibut, White SeaBass and Yellowtail, none of which were caught in LJ. I did win the MDR Halibut Derby this year, the first to win on a kayak. Of course i did win that trip to Alaska...which was a blast! I also would have won 2 categories in the Big fish challenge...I could have cheated and dethroned jorge...but I didn't...but I should have! Greg won the HOW tournament, and got a whole shitload of prizes...he almost won the halibut category.. but got dethroned by Jorge. If anybody wants to know Jorge's secret...it's being completely passed out on your kayak...and when your fish tangles all your lines and rocks you awake...start winding, and have your gaff ready. We slayed the lobsters so far this season...possibly the best season of all time, numbers wise. Korea beat the crap out of Mexico in soccer....

So yeah it was a great year!

Great year I'd say. I didn't get any big fish on my trips, but I learned a lot about my local spots, honed my FF skills, and just simply became a better kayaker overall IMO.

Is the tail on the bottom right from a WSB or Halibut? It must of been a biggun' if it was a halibut.

The one on the bottom right is a YT, the only tail that is missing is the 40lb butt tail

Sorry, meant left. Got dyslexic for a moment. A 40lb butt is serious.

My wife refers to the garage as my smiling place. It has not had a car parked in it in 20 years, and she is good about warning people not to mess with it.
