Hey man, tried to shoot you a text sunday morning while i was on the water but Verizon sent back a error message saying it was landline # and the message couldnt go through. I just messed around with some calico, never was able to find a butt. much less a legal. I did see a guy in a boat catch a tanker WSB about 200 yard from where i was. that was real heartbreaker for me. so i feel your pains. hit me up next time your goin.

Even those of us who have hooked dozens upon dozens of halibut have had those moments.

Live and learn.

It's gonna make that 1st legal Hali that much sweeter!

if you get a bunch of shorts.. keep fishing around there with bigger baits. if the shorts bite a 4"... move up to a 6" or 7". usually when i catch a short, i stick in that area kuz there is a big boy somewhere around there. i also use parabolic rods to prevent any slack line. these rods cant turn a yt's head away from kelp.. but they can absorb a hell of a headshake.

Dang Easy, putting in your time that is for sure. Nice hook up ratio otherwise for the week even though the biggy got his day.
