This is my first post so give me a little leeway.  I was fishing with my son and his friend off of the second wall and got lucky.  23", 4.7lb halibut,  about 15 minutes later I lost another that was about 6 - 7" longer, DARN.  When we got back to the launch several other NCKA's were there so got to chat for a little bit.  Question -- was I the only one to get lucky and catch a halibut?  Before I forget, I used frozen herring.
