Just yesterday I took my narrow 4/0 tib toy halibut fishing.  It was a relaxing morning until the bobber went down.  Lil Red was up to the challenge.  Using a 6ft g loomis hybrid, 80 tufline and a 16/0 circle hook and some frozen herring we got a "bite".  The fish pulled hard and made some hard long runs but little red got er done.  The length/weight relationship estimated it at 150 lbs.   It was more fun on a small tricked out reel that I assembled myself.   Enjoy the picture. 

the end.     gst.

That is an Amazing catch and nice modified torium handle on that bad boy. Is that a thumb drag you attached on that? Hey, use one of adams inserts and you wont need that anymore!

Thats a pretty nice fish. It's also great to see these reels that are built among members here catching decent sized fish.

Nice!  I'm impressed with the things we have done to the 113H.

Awesome Gary.  Great seeing catches that I dream about.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Whoa! Nice fish.  I'll be up next weekend get the boat ready.  That is an awful lot of sea lice on that fish.  Is that usual?  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Gary, you're the butt king  ;D
Little red gets it done ;), very nice buddy.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Excellent Halibut Gary,

What is the gear ratio in your YTS? How deep were you fishing? If the gear ratio is 4:1; how much effort to get the fish up? What poundage was your top shot of mono?

You know I need the details Gary,

Leo

Gary,

Now that looks like fun.  We already know what kind of scenery your stuck with.  Keep the pictures coming.  

That appears to be a different species of sea lice then we find on some of the billfish species here ocassionally. I guess Halibut don't jump to rid themselves of these guys?  They don't hurt anything though.
