I get by with a little help from my Risso's - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks Brad for an interesting and detailed report. I was out there very early this morning and experienced what you mentioned except for catching a monster halibut. The cacophony of noises from whatever in the dark made it a little unnerving.

Nicely done Brad

I heard about it yesterday morning....better to see it and read your story. Weren't we just talking about halibut and them going balistic?

One of these years, I'm going to have a picture of me up here with a beast like that........someday!

Very nice flatty and great report.

Nice flattie, and like I heard you say, it's nice to catch halibut incidentally instead of pounding the sand all day for nothing.

Sweet flatness, what a great fish.

I don't know how you seem to manage to hook up with all these butts over 40#... I sure am not making any bets.

GOOD GOD! That must have been fun with that thing flopping on the deck.
