First Leagal Butt!!!

Did some time at Mission Bay today after work. Launched from Mariner's Point at 1615 and picked up some large but not amazing sardines. Got sagged on the first drop that resulted in a broken walmart rod. 15 minutes later I get bendo big time and pull up a ray that was around 24" in diameter. While fun to pull on it wasn't what I was looking for. Around 1800 I see a little tug on the rod and do all that I can to let it sit for what seemed like eternity. Eternity was probably 20 seconds in this case. So I start reeling it in and could tell there was something fun on the other end. When it came to color I could tell it was the right kind and legal. I then proceed to dick around and nearly fail with the gaff. This fish went down 3 times before I could get it gaffed. Every time I was freaking out and hoping it wouldn't break or spit. Third time up I finally get it gaffed and game clipped.

First legal Halibut 34+ inches...weight to be determined...
