March Submission
After pounding sand forever in the local water for nada, all it took was a change of scenery. This was the winning fish at the March Baytubers Tournament. Got a 9lber first, then released a 7lber and finally this fish decided to make my day. Halibut Location: Dana Point Date: 3/26/12 Bait: Horse Sardine Length: 37" Weight: 24 pounds WCW 2011....No Mas

Awesome fish Don! And a tourney winner to boot.
I was fishing LJ that day and as I was losing my mind looking at my finder's blank screen, my gut was telling me you were going to find a nice one up in DP. I was waiting at the Launch this morning for you???? Don't worry, you didn't miss anything except a cold breeze and a building swell. My hat's off to you. You're a fishing machine. Thank god you live 100 miles away from LJ.

Don,
Well done, you had an awesome run and are certainly one hell of a fisherman. Your showing is even more impressive given the commute you make to fish LJ. Very cool. |

Another solid month, Don...
Just imagine if you bought that silly Pro Angler last Summer. Even without it, I bet you can remember the smile on the Yellowtail's face as he shook your hook at the gaff---right beside the kayak.
I'm pretty sure that fish's face will be engrained into your memory for some time. Especially since this was a slam-completing-Yellowtail, no less. Apparently those extra eighty points (30 for the fish and 50 for the slam bonus) came into play after all. Getting pipped at the last second has got to sting a bit---ouch!
