Dana Point 3/17 .....Beginner's Luck
He's never been on kayak and only handful of time for fish On the water 8 AM ,gave him some safety instruction for kayaking inside of harbor He handled my revo 13 pretty well after 5min Bait was perfect size of sardine but water is 60, dirty and trash everywhere Before we start fishing I told him don't expect too much it's your first time and water is still cold I led him use one of my old spinning reel and rod I've never used for at least 10 year Because it was his first time, I didn't wanna go far away so we started fishing near beach outside of harbor Around 9 am I saw him hook up something , I asked him what you got then he said "Halibut" then I saw and hear line pulling out (Thanks god I check the drag) He tried to reeling in hard so I told him slow down and make sure halibut stay under water Luckily fish running my side so I gaffed easily It was 28 inch halibut Beginner's Luck just happened 30min later I also caught legal one too It was pretty good day for us he told me 7 people had sashimi dinner but couldn't finished it and he wanna buy kayak for himself now he's searching Last edited by dorado123; 03-19-2019 at 08:36 AM. |

Stoked! Man that’s how his addiction will start. Good job for getting a “newb” on the water. Make sure you get him on BWE.

The meat in the pic looks clean enough, I bet if there were critters in that flesh, the chef would have seen them. Congrats OP on the great day!! |
