After a good weekend of albie fishing with Mike on the "Gloryhull", it was time to return to the plastic. Day started out well....

...then got better. Trap rigged greenie gets hit. I thought it was hung on kelp for minute and gave a jerk. Popped free but felt suspicious, so I sent it back down. As soon as it hit the bottom it got whacked. Felt the headshakes right away and was pretty sure it was big and flat. Came up pretty easily and awaited the gaff hanging vertically. Stuck her in the shoulder and she just laid there while I stringered. Tried to lift her up for a pic when all hell broke loose. She beat the crap out of me and the yak and almost tipped me at one point. Finally got her back under control and she was done after that.

Weighed in at 44.8 on the OEX certified scale. Long and thick but a little narrow. YT was 25ish, long skinny male, blind in one eye.

Nice flattie...wish I could get out there more, may try for a middday next week if I can come up with a good enough tale for the boss who fishes.

Definitely would like to get one of those bigger model halis like you guys have been getting...will have to pass on the outfit thoughlol
Sorry Brad, couldn't resist....

That is a huge halibut! Looks more like a Pacific halibut than California. Lookaing at the fish you guys catch sure helps motivate me to get the hell out of my cubicle early! Thanks!!

Catching 2/3 of the slam in one day is awesome, congrats. Catching big ones is even better.

Where is the F'n Brad smiley?

Great pair of fish you got there. I go back
and look at the photo of the 46 lb halibut
you caught last year all the time. That was
the biggest halibut I seen all year on the local
chat boards. To catch another one of that size
is amazing.

And Tyler is right about the F'N Brad smiley
