The halibut division. Very simply, the biggest halibut weighed wins. There will be prizes awarded for the top 3 fish weighed. This is a separate division that you will specify upon check in. (you can check in the day prior online) In this division you may use live and cut bait and fish more than 1 rod at a time. You must launch and land from tournament location, but are able to fish in or outside the bay! Live bait can be brought, bought or caught. Fish must be hooked, fought and landed from the kayak unassisted. Final weigh in is 1 pm and you must be in line at the scale no later than 1 pm.
