thanks Mooch ;)

Joel's gift on Sunday.
grilled halibut for dinner,  and halibut scramble with bacon for breakfast.

I hate you Sean!

Nice fish by the way.

@ Rob, Haqhahhahaahahaa!!!! Glad you got it in... That thing was a fighter like Mooch!!!!

You know Mooch tried to catch a halibut in HMB for along time.......i'm sure he had something to do with you catching one yesterday.
Congrats Sean!! 

Beauty fish to see in person

Karmabutt!

Darn crick in my neck again. 

Beauty fish to see in person

+1, I was fortunate enough to see it in person and it was very nice indeed.  Way to go Sean!

I ended up with a 14" black and a barely legal cabbie.  My first ever legal cab from a yak - thanks Joel. 

Congrats on your hali bro. That was special.

not a doubt in my mind.
 That first time I fished Bean Hollow I caught a 30" hali and didn't quite know what to do with it. Joel was there to not only net it, but also stuff it into the hatch of my tarpon.
After I landed this one on Sunday I felt like he was telling me "See, you can do it on your own now".

The most anxious part of the whole fight was when I bonked the fish the swimbait flew right out of it's mouth, so there were a few seconds before I got the clip on it when it was only secured by the gaff hook. I was sure it would escape.

the fish turned out to be 32" and 13.7 lbs, and made for 4 bags of fillets plus dinner. Yum.

i guessed 15# when I saw it in your tankwell.

congrats again, a fish like that would make my season
