Loved the report Eric and congrats again. as I was reading your story I realized that you already broke in that calcutta gaff I wrapped for you a few days prior! nice job on getting it bloody.

awesome hali

THE DARKHORSE · 07-22-2009, 05:42 PM

Nice meeting you last week, Eric. Looks like you don't need a guide after all

.

Seriously though, that's a real trophy Halibut my friend. Being new to the sport and all, you may not realize it now, but Halibut over forty pounds are truly something to be proud of.

Nice Butt!

brandonplum · 07-22-2009, 06:37 PM

:notworthy :

frugalfisher · 07-22-2009, 07:21 PM

I couldn't believe how they can go off the first time I sunk a gaff in one.

Friends come out of the woodwork for dinner when it is fresh Halibut!!!

GregAndrew · 07-22-2009, 08:12 PM

Best read I have seen maybe ever. WTG.

LakersFan · 07-22-2009, 09:28 PM

Very entertaining story. It's great that that was your first halibut. Congratulations!

dsafety · 07-22-2009, 09:52 PM

Great first post and even better first halibut. Congratulations!

I don't want to be critical but as someone recently suggested, the use paragraphs really makes our posts much easier to read.

Just a thought.

Congrats on that BEAST of a flattie!!! Great read also.

joyjiggin' · 07-23-2009, 01:10 AM

Your post was humorous and suspensful and very well written. Congrats on a monster Hali (and 1st one too!!!) Paddle like you own the place!

southboundhound · 07-23-2009, 02:52 AM

kinda like the old man and the sea... but with paddling and gaffing and flattie beating dangerness. Bravo.

Slay Rider · 07-23-2009, 03:24 AM

Most excellent.

steveooo · 07-23-2009, 10:22 AM

Great read, even better fish

Whizz Bang · 07-23-2009, 03:52 PM

Thank you all for your comments and encouragement.

Josh- I am in the process of digging the change out of the couch and will probably be talking to you soon about a guided trip (Do you accept payment in lint covered nickels?).

Ric- That gaff now looks like it has been through a couple of seasons, not a single week and one fish. Sorry.

In the interim, I will be out again this weekend searching for my yellow. If you are out there and see me fishing a carolina off the bottom, please stop me.
