Hey Lucky Lager!
Just recently, I caught my first short hali and have been beaching a couple of short pancakes during most secessions. So I can understand what you were going through once you realized it was a hali! :EyePop:
Who cares if it was short....it was a hali! That's what fired me up to get my first legal!
My largest was 21 1/2". :LOL: I still haven't caught my first as of yet! But I keep trying.
I want to wish you a great adventure on your stride towards your first legal. I'm also looking forward to reading about it.
Don't forget the pic's. :Cool:

No kiddy NT.... Just look at Dan. He has always been and I am sure still does fish perch but the halibut decease is like a tropical decease, once you get in you can't get rid of it.

well, i know nobody's gonna believe it....i didn't at first either. but i had just put the LC away & switched to the 'ol faithful....the camo sandworm.
the wife & kids showed up to watch me, so i switched tactics to target the bsp & let the kids reel in a couple.
it was time to pack up, and i made my last cast for the day....it was a good cast i guess.
i feel like it was just dumb luck, but it's given me some insentive to keep at it.
i'll let you guys know "when" i get my keeper, lol
