Very nice success stories! Nothing like scratching varieties off your list and accumulating personal best photos...

I haven't been into yak fising for very long either, and it's been a bunch of first for me, too! As I read your post I knew exactly what you meant...
Congrats on the NICE halibut

Thanks guys for all the great responses.

The thing is now, like in right now, I have now idea where to go.

Do I go hooping at 2 AM this coming morning (insomniac thread) or do I go for another halibut or do I go to my favorite place of all , La Jolla? Too many options

My wife and daughter are tired of all the lobster bait in the freezer so it looks like hooping in the wee hours ...

Anyone want to show me the places in LJ this super early am and if not then MB it is.

PB for the summertime ...

Sounds like a year to remember! I saw you catch your wsb and thought you were going to fall out of your yak with excitement. Now with the bugs & the flatties you must really be stoked. Congrats. As for where to go now?..BIGGER & better! BTW I got rid of my net. Flatties up to 26" I can grab by the "shoulder" and hali's 28+" won't fit into a net and need a gaff. Nice post- Thanks.

The "Cali fishing bucket list" as I like to call it, is way to familiar with most of us and I love that we're getting to see you check things off one after the other. Most people "save" the yellow tail for last...not on purpose haha.

Congrats on your Hali, let's go find that Ling cod and check it off together... see you out there
