Text Convo on my way home from work.
Me: I was thinking about making halibut for dinner tonight, problem is I’d have to catch one...
Her: Sounds good
Well conveniently I had my gear in my truck still from my last adventure, I only had an hour to fish and hadn’t caught a legal halibut in 8 months but I wasn’t going to pass up an opportunity to try. I worked the edge of the jetty near the bait barge, missed several bites in the dirty water, was getting kinda pissed and thinking of changing out my bladed A-rig but my persistence was rewarded.
22” on the nose, I had to measure it 3 times to be sure. Crazy day, no expectations, “huge” results. Haha
I hope this buys me a few more fishing pit-stops in the future.
