It's served it's purpose. Honestly, I rarely put ice in it. It's more to have a place to stash fish without getting the yak all messy. But when I've remembered to do so, a few ice packs or frozen water bottles in the bag will definitely keep a catch noticeably colder. I think it was Mark (ski) who showed me the frozen water bottle in a YT mouth trick. Amazing how much cooler the fish is.

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?

Quilted Germ · 08-08-2008, 09:17 AM

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

T-Rex · 08-08-2008, 09:59 AM

Very nice flatty and great report.

GHOSTHUNTR · 08-08-2008, 11:41 AM

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

lamb · 08-08-2008, 01:19 PM

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.

Dennis · 08-08-2008, 03:27 PM

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

Bill Lane · 08-08-2008, 08:23 PM

Holy Cow... I thought my 24 pounder on Wednesday was big. Once again humbled by the MadScientist. Nice fish Brad!
