Went fishing on sunday around 4pm in the afternoon. Within 30 minutes of getting there and casting. I hooked in to a halibut that was quite the size. After getting it to the top water I could tell this was gonna be hard to land. Managed to fight the beast for 10 minutes tired it out. After it was tired I walked it to the beach from the rocks. It was hooked clean in the mouth and I was able to walk into the beach and revived the fish and let it live another day. The fish was real fat and I assumed that it was pregnant. Felt like a 10 pound fish and maybe 30 inches estimation. The sandals in the picture are size 13 sandals.


Also on the way back to the fishing spot I was so excited about the halibut forgot to look at the rocks I was walking on. Stepped with my right foot and for some odd reason there was no rock underneath my foot. Started to fall face first into the rocks and managed to scrape my foot shin and knee and light sprained wrist and save my face. No serious injuries but that fall hurt like crazy. The halibut was well worth the pain.

10 pound berkley big game
silver crocodile
caught with the flutter technique

Me and jineticdave been hitting the halibuts hard jineticdave caught a 28 incher which was lost at the rocks . Seems like the halibuts are out in full effect.

Sorry to hear about the bite it on the rocks. Did you spare the rod and reel?

BIG butt that is for sure...can't imagine what that felt like on the other end.

10 pound fish on 10 pound line, you must have played that fish perfectly.

Thank you for the 30" report and pics.

Nice fish man! You gotta watch those rocks though. I still have three screws in my right leg from a fall on the beach rocks years ago.

fishing pole was saved.
I fought the fish and and it peeled drag like 5 times.
I had to tire the fish out before any chance of landing it.

FishDog sorry to hear about your accident.

Nice butt and Kudos for the release. That's classic, putting your foot down where there wasn't a rock. Guess you were thinkin' 'bout another big butt. Anyways, wtg! :thumb:
