ARW 4/21 report

Hit the water at 8am with my best fishing partner. Beautiful weather, calm ocean, and clear water with lots of pacific jellyfish, tentacles and all. Saw many ncka folks- Bob, Psherman, Martin to name a few-

Bought two trays of herring instead of anchovies by mistake.

Could hear everyone on the radio catching shakers left and right while we were getting no love with the Big herring.

Once the tide slacked and began to flip - the mommas began to feed.

Got a big take down and lifted what felt like heavy dead weight. Turned out to be a 36” Hali barely lipped hooked with stinger treble. As soon as I saw the lip, grabbed the gaf and chopped at it. Bam in the boat and all wet.

About an hour later, was cruising along and another good hit, this time she swallowed it. Chopped it with the gaf and 29” in the boat.

Caught a couple shorts there after and missed another big hit. But all in all another sweet day in the water. Plus my son had a blast. His face and expression when he first saw the big halibut was priceless. Cheers-

Geoff

You don't mess around.  Just chop em'.  Great stuff with your son.  Thanks for the report.

Great report and great fish. Thanks for posting.

You two did good.

Nice report with the little guy. I love getting my kids on fish. Hmm, sounds like herring may be the ticket for keepers.

Great job buddy! Your boy is hooked for life I'm sure.

Awesome butts, Geoff!

Great seeing you and Ethan on the water. Catching those halis are priceless with your son.

Nice catches.  Thanks for the report and pictures Geoff.

Two butts are better than one!

Badass! I was catching shakers on chovies too  then caught a keeper once I changed it up to herring.
