Nice video. I caught my first keeper halibut on my kayak, right outside of Shelter Island boat launch. That stinger hook is a must when targeting halibut.

Adam, first thanks are in order! Winter time Socal fishing content is rarer than gold from Ophir. Loved your Halibut rig. Although you were not fortunate enough to catch a legal you demonstrated great patience by not quickly setting the hook on strikes 👍. I once gave my trash Barracuda to my Mexican neighbor and his wife made the best cerviche I've ever had. Oh is Cole your brother?

It happens that way sometimes haha. Viktor made barracuda when he was out here for us and it was actually pretty good! It might get a bad rap from sitting in gunny sacks, definitely a fish that needs to be taken care of

Do you have a video on how to tie a stinger hook? I’d like to learn 👍

I’m in Florida and the Barracuda are huge but the closest we have to Halibut is Flounder but no where near the size of Halibut!

What day was this? Looks super calm out there. Musta been before the big swell came in? .

Yea it was!

Its weird to see halibut in such clear water. Maybe they've got more vibrant coloration off catalina.

I tried eating Barrie’s 40 years ago and no matter how I tried to hide the taste they were 😝😝😝

I always wonder, is there any taste different from a California halibut vs Texas flounder. Your legal size is 22 and we have doormats at 22 inches.

I havent noticed a difference in taste. It does cook faster though due to it being thinner than the top side.

Just depends on the weather really. Get confident on reading the forecasts before sending it across
