Brother man!!!!   So stoked for you and the trophy halibut!!

Beat my Kayak PB by over 5#.  Looks like I need to get back to work.  Great write up too.

I don't have any problem fishing with you man you know that.  do have a problem waking up some mornings, though.  You, and Mr Matt and Tote all out there together today.  Warms my heart a few of my favorite guys right there. 

When I saw you at the harbor, your face....It was like you were in shock!!  Funny as shit!

Here's my contribution to the image fiesta.    Nice Pix=Definitly DID happen!!! and in a BIG way!!

So proud you are my friends.

That is one big flatty! Great pics too.

congrats on a successful trip. Funny how often the "hail mary" bait or drift or whatever happens to produce.
