Good job guys

Right on for caring about not damaging the fish's tail!

Hey there, of course. I appreciate you always checking out my videos!

nicely done - you were careful on the reeling and the landing -- I like how you are super conservative on the estimates, being careful of the tail. Good clean commentary too. The bay was flat as a lake when you were out there!

Hi Keith, I appreciate your kind comment. Yeah it was so much fun. Being on any water with no wind is always a great time. When your catching halibut and the GG bridge is behind you doesnt get better. Thanks for checking out the video and making a comment!

Hey Chris! Any chance you have a link for that fish finder? We need a better one that has the depth like that. The one we have is cheap but worked fine for the lake....not so much the ocean lol

Thanks for the nice video as always.

Never would have guessed the smelt worked. Tried so many times never got anything on smelt!

Nothing better than fresh halibut. Hit enter twice on your fish finder when you hook fish. It will show as way points. I do it all the time in lakes and on the Columbia river. So youll have the slug trail and where you hooked fish.

you always want to be on the bottom or as close as you can without touching it. So you want to keep checking your just inches above it. That is true for both trolling and drifting. Thanks for checking out the video and making a comment!
