Your hard work paid off, BIG time!
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.

Great story, Congrats on the Hali.
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!!!

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. Bob |

La jolla sure spoils some anglers! Nice Halibut. Any Halibut over 40lbs is a real trophy and even a fish of a lifetime.
nicely done! |
