Water was a bit rougher than i had originally planned for but still managed a nice 30lb butt. Felt good to get one on the first trip out this year! Hope the weather shapes up nicely next week!

Nice fish!

Just out of curiosity, how deep were you? I got one in that area a couple of years ago in about 185', but I know they're caught anywhere from 60-500' in that spot.

I was about 160 feet of water. I usually fish a bit deeper but wanted to try something different.

those are yummy looking lures - nice job on converting homemade tackle to a chunky halibut.

The only thing better than catching a nice fish is catching a nice fish on gear that you tied up yourself!  Well done!
