We caught the fish dropshotting a 5 inch jerk shad with 6# test on our tandem kayak and it was definently a team effort. I hooked the fish and fought it while my dad paddled and did a great job steering the fish away from the docks, for reference I am 5'11 190 pounds. The fish was def 30+ inches, but I did not have a tape measure so I am not sure the exact measurement. After the pic I unhooked her put her back in the water, she sat there for a split second then took off like a rocket.
The rest of the day: We fished from about 9:45-12:45 using mostly big hammers and a dropshot here and there. We each caught a halibut, and between the two of us we also caught a 5 spotties, a sandie, and a croaker. None of which were anything special so we didnt take any pics

same fish being unhooked and released, I would guess this hali was about 15-18 inches. (it kinda looks like his fingers are in the fish's gils, there not)

Again, All fish were quickly and safely cpr'ed
peace out, Dean and Thomas (bergie berg)
