Sweet Greg...That Wade, he's a good mofo.

StinkyMatt · 09-08-2011, 01:17 PM

WAY TO GO GREG!

That must have been an emotional rollercoaster.....here I have it ...now I don't

Great looking photo.

Hope you get one on Saturday.

Wade, you are one cool dude for helping friends out.

Wade, one question: Why didn't you just give Greg a push in the back and make him dive down for his own fish?

Nice work gentleman!!!

just got off the water....today was more of the same, nice hot weather, small surf and poop brown water, crazy!!

if you'r gonna fish soon, bring a kill bag or burlap sack to keep you fish outta the sun. Its hot out there!!

GregAndrew · 09-08-2011, 02:17 PM

Believe me, Wade was yelling "Jump in" but I was thinking no problem I will just gaff it as it was right at the surface for a good 15 seconds. Unfortunately it took us 20 seconds to unattach and get back to it, and 3 feet deep it was out of sight.

Congrats!! Sounds like you worked hard for that fish. Your yak has more stuff on it than Sanford & Son's junk yard. How do you keep all that stuff from falling out?

dmrides · 09-09-2011, 07:21 AM

Nice fish Greg. Did you get the fight on video? It would be cool to see your halibut gear all doubled over and pushed to the max.

Excllent job to you and Wade both to make sure that this story had a happy ending.

GregAndrew · 09-09-2011, 04:57 PM

Everything has it's place and everything important is strapped down. I missed the first couple minutes of the fight on video but got the rest (along with most of the next hour of paddling cause I forgot to turn it off). Can't upload the video to my moms computer so I have to wait till I get home. Caught it on something slightly heavier than my Halibut rods (slightly).

RK · 09-09-2011, 09:10 PM

Yeah greg beauty man...... Im sure that fought slightly better than a butt...

jerr-dog · 09-11-2011, 08:01 AM

Nice job Greg way to go get em.

YakMedic · 09-08-2011, 11:59 AM

Wow what a story. What's the chances of getting a couple swimmers to find your fish. That's a fish you will never forget.

Handymansd · 09-08-2011, 12:30 PM

congrats Greg what a story nearly ending in heartbreak, But I gotta tell ya: I would have been a fool and jumped in after it!
