Halibut that size just don't exist down in these waters.
Besides you don't have the patience for that kind of fishing.
So why doctor the photo? (again, yes we all remember the last "photoshoped" pictures)
If you would just shoot straight with us we would'nt hate on you so much.

Nothing wrong with a little Alaskan vacation...
But to imply that beast was caught in So. Cal. please.
And if the freezers full, why kill another fish?

I hope you are ready for the onsalught of negative post... cause they are coming, I just thought I would get the ball rolling.

I for one am sick of your, "once a month" fish killing grandstanding.
We get it, you catch alot of big fish,
We would all catch fish of a "lifetime" if thats all we did was fish one location day in and day out...

Give a rest Mr, Darkhorse, your pursuit of that "trophy" to inflate your ego has gotten old.

Maybe La Jolla should be shut down, hell at this rate in a couple years there wont be a fish left anyway, and kayaking in LJ will be good for excersize and cave touring only...

And why rank on the noisy bass guys? he was disturbing the Ghost you were trying to kill again???, maybe he did see them, maybe he was subconsciuosly sent there by some force stronger than all of us to help save those poor fish from slaughter at the hands of Mr. Killem and Grillem?

Seriously how many fish do you need to bring to gaff?, maybe you could learn something from the Calico "trash man" (what? bass fishing is below you?) I bet he was releasing his his trophies...unlike you, who somehow needs to kill and post, kill and post, kill and post, to fuel your ego into over drive?

We get it Mr. Darkhorse, you have La Jolla dialed in and can kill at will, that doesnt mean you should!

Your a guide right? So after you kill every fish in La Jolla, plus the few "trophys" you let your clients kill, what are you going to do??? turn from fishing guide to tour guide? I can hear you now:

"See over there?, thats where I killed mulitple 65lb WSB back in 2009, Limit was one, but I kept on fishing, and "accidently" hooked another and released it...and over there? I got 4- 40lb+ Yellowtail in one day!, while my client killed 5, and right around here is where I claimed to have caught my Alaskan Halibut... ahh the good old days...boy those guys on B.W.E. sure were stupid, I used to love showing them pictures of dead fish"


You say:

Wheres this bond you talk about?
Everytime I hear about you it is negative, so please dont patronize the rest of us... We tried to get along with you, tried to set you straight on the simple rules of fishing etiquette , you shunned us, you killed for killing sake and took the sport of kayakfishing and made every outing into a personal "freezer filling" trip.

Like you said:

Please define for us what "plenty" means?????
1,000lbs? just how many freezers do you own Mr. Pruitt?
And if your arms are so sore (poor you) maybe you should give fishing a rest...
I know that all of us could use a rest from your grandstanding...

And maybe if you took that rest, you would come to understand the harm you are doing, both to the fishery you call home and to the community you mockingly try to "inspire" with your self serving fish killing "reports"

And you have also said you only post once a month?
well thats a lie, the poor Yellowtail you killed for fun and posted for your own glory was less than two weeks ago... so? what happen to the compromise with the "PB'r Mafia" ?

Maybe you should do us all a favor...
and get back into the loan business... go back to your "monetary prime"
Raping poor gullible people with shady loans... It does alot less harm to the world in the long run than raping the pristine fishing grounds of La Jolla, if we are to believe half of what you say is true, you might as well be dragging a gill net around...

So there you have it Mr. Darkhorse,
My opinon on your latest fishing exploits, give it a rest, do something to help not hurt for a change, go feed some homeless people or something, (empty one of your freezers)

I for one will continue to try and fish La Jolla, while there are still a few fish around, using less Hollocaustic methods than those that you are so fond of and doing all I can do to promote peace among the kayakfishing community, the same community that you take joy in poking with a sharp stick every chance you get.


Again if half of your stories were true, then your gut is full of WSB and Yellowtail, and now Alaskan Halibut...(Sitka???)
So follow it back to your freezer Mr. Pruitt and give the ocean a chance to recover from your deadly exploits, we have all heard enough and were not buying it.
Frankly we would just as soon see the store close...

Oh and you know who I am Mr. Darkhorse, so if you want this repeated in person, just ask, and I will oblige, I dont hide behind computers like some of the panty ass posters who try and give you shit, and I will never use a false screenname to communicate my message to you or anyone... best thing for you would be to just take my words and deal with them as the truth they are, get over yourself Mr. Trophy, unlike like a "fish of a life time"
you would get hurt trying to reel me in.

Did I miss anything?
Or did that just about cover it?


Can I come over for Dinner?
I'd love some good California Halibut

Congrats my friend

Freakin' hilarious, Don...Post of the month for sure.


I felt like we were in the movie Eight Mile starring Marshal Mathers, on stage, in the heat of a rap-battle.

Unfortunetly, in this case the tables were turned and somehow you were Eminem instead of me. Then you threw me the mic after telling me everything I was going to say. I sat stunned holding my morning coffee, but could imagine the roaring crowd at The Shelter. Just like Papa Doc, speachless, how could this white boy whip my azz in front of the whole Freeworld crew.

In the words of Eminem and the MLPA, "Fu@& the Freeworld!"




Oh yeah, for those curious about the specs, this fish measured 53" and is my new personal best Halibut weighing 51 lbs 5 oz, stoked!

unfn'reel fish, Josh.
And even on the slow days, the seagulls bring you cuban cigars,
and the dogs wrangle bait balls at your feet... as siren singing
mermaids beer you... in Josh's magic playground,
every trip is sweet.

I was fishing with Josh that day since the early morning and decided to call it a day about an hour before he hooked up. (My bad) I didn't see any helicopters, Harrier jets, or any other type of craft that could land on water and take him to Alaska. We were at least 1 hour away from the landing so how did he do it? I suppose Josh has a time travel machine? I'm a pixel nerd myself and I can attest to his lack of skills with photo shop. He can't even open the program much less install it. Josh is an idiot when it comes to computers but who cares! The boy knows how to fish! Congratulations Josh!

[DOGHOUSE26]

Nice fish Josh, I can hardly wait to read the tutorial on how to strap one of those babies on your yak!

[T Bone]

Josh- Nice fish!!!

Haters(Bellcon and anyone else)- You dont even know the difference between a Pacific Halibut(Alaskan) and California Halibut(Local type).I can understand a little jealousy(I wish I caught it!)but chill out.As for photoshop comments,there was just nothing in the background close enough to get in the shot.

[habanero]

WOW! I go away for a day or two and this happen.

BTW: Paul and I fish a lot together and we were all fishing that day along with a few others who posted on this thread. Rest assured, this photo is straight out of Paul's camera, and he think photo shop is a place you drop off film.

OK, Lets get back to fishing and helping to keep the crown jewel of kayak fishing open.

Josh and I will be in Santa Monica tomorrow. Anyone else?

hahahahah.....i guess i was wrong.....i love you johnny, you never dissapoint, your responces are priceless and i respect your $.02. I personally like the way Josh edits out the backgrounds, baits, beers and bongs from his pictures...it keeps me on my toes, plus i respect the fact that this is his lively hood and regularly posting pictures is great form of advertising...you flaming his posts keeps them at the top of the board for weeks on end generating thousands of hits

[DENNYh]

what...Did someone say bong?

[driftwood]

let me explain the definition of small penis syndrome M.J.

Definition: This is a term used to describe men who suffer from excessive anxiety about their male organ. These men catch average sized fish. and they are suffering mentally because They are threatened and become jealous of another mans big fish.

This could be part of obsessive thinking, larger psychosis or even dysmporphic disorder! (this could explain why they will use words like, "mortal a boner"

researchers have recommended that the individuals who suffer from small penis syndrome should attend counseling treatment, this should be the first course of action. Medications and surgery should not come into the resolution given the fact that there is perhaps nothing wrong with the the size fish they cach and go home with. The fact is M.J... at the end of the long fishing day, some just go home with bigger bonies!

I write this not to offend you M.J. but, Once you admit to this obsessive-compulsive behavior the sooner you can be helped.

So much for trying to ask peeps nicely to take a higher road.......


On a brightside I am yak fishing in the a.m. and running the skiff out in the p.m. instead of just internet fishing..........


Maybe some of you should try that sometime????

Hey i wanna pipe in with my two cents(not cool enough for ".02" yet. I'll get there, I just know it)

It's not an Alaskan Halibut. For one thing josh is wearing a dress shirt and lite waders and is soaked. Now i'm no "meteor" "ologist" but Alaska's water temp, even in summer is in the low 50's. Too cold for that gear.

The photo's not doctored. Flash photography in lower light, on a moving subject, with a slower shutter speed can make all sorts or weird things happen, including a drop shadow on objects that shouldn't have one.

Occum's Razor comes to mind. "the simplest explanation is best". He's just better than you. Get over it. Someone has to be the best and it's not you, or me for that matter.

In addtion too...Mr Ockham...

To quote Isaac Newton: "We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances. Therefore, to the same natural effects we must, so far as possible, assign the same causes.

Big fish small fish they are all the same. Better than me? well I can admit that. But which is really better. struggling to make a living or struggling to speak the truth.

Think about it

MalibuJohnny,

Well...
I have alot of time this morning and wanted to post my say...

This has nothing to do with Josh and his "worshippers".
In fact, just maybe, he might be viewed as a "fisherman", a good one at that, and may be not as a "god".

heard mentality

photos being tampered with

to what extent? changing backgrounds to cover up his "spot" has nothing to do with the actual fish he's caught.

Google Search "slow sync flash" and you'll understand how that picture looks the way it does.

truthful and honest.

I really don't see anything dishonest or untruthful about his posts.

Am I a "follower" of Josh? No.
I'm just a person that knows him as a "good fisherman" and feels that he has alot to share with me and the fishing community.

We're just here to have fun and escape from the stress of everyday life, no? Why make enemies? Let's just move on and catch some fish, or at least try to...

Aren't we all brothas from other mothas!

your the man!
nice hali!

[Gino]

That halibut is fat...

Nice fish Darkhorse!

[Fiskadoro]

Toad... way to go Josh!!

Nothing like following your gut and having it pay off!!!

Jim

[MalibuJohnny]

Man Josh!


I thought I was full of you!

He wins~!

Do you have witness to this event? Who were you with? When you caught this amazing butt?

Alaska? I wanna go to...can you "hook me up" with the same outfit?


Nice fish anyway!


How come it is so dark?

Common Scallywiggle!


Dude!!! u just stole johnnymalibu's glory, he's gonna be pissed!!!! i think u got every angle and even one up'ed him with this one....
"get over yourself Mr. Trophy, unlike like a "fish of a life time"

Mr. SacllyWag, its malibujohnny


Now I have been nice...you have to admit that I have been nice and not tried to point out the negative or untruths...or even the blackened background when its early morning...and I did say in an earlier post; “Holly Molly, nice fish Great luck ~!


Nice fish I have to admit!


I will stop now, as promised! I will be nice’r to Mr, Loan Officer / tour guide / fishing guide / local sushi bars best friend (and cheapest fish monger)
