Halibut out of HMB 7/21

Went out of Half Moon Bay yesterday, first time taking out my new Hobie Compass.

Got out between the green and red cans by 9am, fishing was pretty slow through the morning, then around noon, got a big hit on my swimbait. Thought it was a big Ling, but when I got it close to the surface, realized it was a 36 inch, 20lb. Halibut! First Halibut I've ever caught, and easily the biggest fish I've ever landed on a kayak.

Nice fish!
