Thanks for sharing Greg!
I have to live vicariously through these videos until I land one of my own. |

Simply amazing Greg, everyone else gives up til spring and you are still gaining WCW points with mutant flatties!
Did you learn the stoic waterman thing from stevooo or did he learn it from you? I dont think your heart rate raised more than 2 beats per minute the whole time! Grats!! |

I will send you one of the blooper reels Adi (not Halibut fishing).
Believe me, I was never this calm when seeing color on a big Flatty until Buttchaser schooled me, step by step, as I fought my then PB 25#er. He gave me the tools to take home more of the fish I hooked. But, he also gave me a thought process to go through while fighting the fish which did not allow my mind to worry and stress out. Confidence was gained because there have been zero problems since then when I keep to what he taught me. The rod is a G Loomis GL2 BBR964C 12-25#. Caught just about everything there is on them including 51# WSB, 38# Butt, 75# BSB, My PB Leopard at almost 6 feet. Great braid rod for fish that like to headshake or the like. |

I guess when you've slayed your fair share of barn doors, one becomes calm under pressure. Congrats, that's a beaut!

Great job and very smoothly executed. I liked your comentary about it being a shark and then a ray. I've been fooled like that so now I treat every slow heavy bottom hooked fish like a halibut until I have visual confirmation. Mike
