6/4
Hit the surf w/ my buddy Eric in search of some halibut on Saturday, got to the surf at 6am, weather was cloudy, waves were small, and tide was low. I told myself yes, this should be the day, been trying to get a hali since last year w/ no luck. about 20 mins in, fish on, feels small. Pulled up a 6 inch jack smelt (Skunk buster) sorry no pics on that little guy, oh well back to fishing. We seen Wingnut and crew a little later that day, quickly said hi and back to fishing, no more luck till 12pm. called it a day. Need redemption. Called up my buddy Eric that night to coordinate the plan of attack, done, ok were good to go.
6/5
Back out again, man do I feel lucky today. Got to the surf at 5:30am to see that the waves were WAY bigger, oh well we're already there, lets see what happens, in the waders and out in the surf, a few cast in and BAM, after a short fight, Yes, first Hali from the surf 19inch, not legal but hey, big accomplishment, they look so cool when you release them and see them up close.

I said to myself ok, I'm satisfied, but would be great if I got a legal. about 20 casts later it happens, bam, fish on, hey feels like my last fish (Head shakes), I tell eric, I think this might be the legal hali, we land and measure, yes its LEGAL!!

Jason, congrats on the legal... nothing to it right? :Wink:
You will always remember your first and how & where you got it.
It was nice meeting you & Eric on the sand on Saturday. :Cool: I've only been to that beach a couple of times. Thanks for the PM and I wish you continued success in your quest for the next PB. :Big Grin:

Thanks Wingnut! Yup nothing to it, most definitely a memorable moment!
It was awesome meeting you on our exploratory trip, it was actually our first time there on Saturday, pretty cool spot.
More PBs to come! Thanks again, we'll meet again!

Way to pull through and catching that legal hali.
I apologize for not introducing myself to ya on Saturday, I was "wired in" and focused on nailing a legal myself.
We'll meet again no worries :Cool:

Ulua,
When I saw you there in the water and barely averting your attentiuon to us, as we came down the path, I knew you were on a mission.
Congrats with the legal and I hope you get that 30 soon, I still haven't been so lucky.
