DP031307 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dpliska · 03-13-2007, 03:24 PM

You know the routine -dropped the girls off at school and headed to the local spot. The SW swell picked up and DoHo was a difficult task. Ended up getting one legal and breaking off a much better unit.
I really tried my best to release this guy. Landed him by hand but noticed my stinger was imbedded in his gill.

The fished started to bleed pretty good so I clipped him to see if it would stop. After awhile, he looked good enough to release so I pulled out the camera. Dead batteries.

Oh well, on my way home picked up some new batteries for the cheesey driveway shot.
29 3/4" 10lbs

Truly you are the King of those elusive flatties!!!!

You forgot to put on your proverbial sunglasses though...

Congrats on another awsome Hali!

Good job, I wish I had a cheesy driveway photo with a flatty.

I nailed the flatties this week, but from the bank. I was just noticing my pics, and I have one that went 7 lbs that is a right eyed butt..... he is facing the wrong way. So since DP is the hali king, I was wondering how many hali do you have that appear to be the wrong side?

Sammy you are my Hero. lol I will say I can't wait to grow up and be like you. Congrats to both for the flatties.

I never paid too much attention to their orientation. However, after a quick check through this years pics, it turned out to be about 50/50.

Hey Vic, I don't want to make you feel bad but my 8 yr old daughter and my wife also got legal hali, lol. Maybe someday you can make it happen

You definitely know your subject well. We're not worthy! Being a teacher, I bet you could write a really informative article on the art of halibut fishing from a kayak!!

In all seriousness, if they were to resurrect the "tip of the month" articles, I'd be very interested in reading about your techniques.
