Conditions looked great when I got to the beach at 6 AM. It was still very chilly outside, but eventually warmed up. I threw the LC and BH before my friend Rory showed up. I had a decent bite on the BH that I farmed.

Rory took the time to explain the DS to me and set me up. Thanks for the instruction Bro. I had a blast fishing with you.

It was getting close to my needed departure time, and the DS wasn't producing for me, so I switch to a Daiwa DB minnow, and started making casts. I was just about to call it quits when I felt that tail tail tick, set the hook and the rod loaded up. FISH ON!!! This fish was not shy and made some great runs. Thankfully I serviced my reel last night so my drags were buttery smooth. The fish worked me good, and Rory kept calling out measurements during the fight. I finally beached it and it taped at 26". At home on the scale it weighed 6 lbs 13 oz.

I was stoked! Rory snapped a few pics and I made a couple more casts before calling it a day. On the way home I called my wife and told her "it's a Halibut Thanksgiving!"

No stuffing. We used corn tortillas, cabbage, cheese, salsa, avocado, and lime. Yummy!
