I was trying to catch some sanddab for livebait, but I got a huge sanddab cousin, halibut.  This was my first halibut from Russian Gulch.

Thank you.  I am still learning about my new video system, and my wife keeps telling me that I need to speak more.  However, I am too busy fishing instead of focusing on video recording.
