Title: Armchair Matinee
Post by: gstours on December 30, 2018, 03:16:05 PM
   Here,s a  clip from this summer that has some fun, and some frustrating parts.  We were anchored on a well traveled slope in about 25 fathoms.  Ken is favoring his bad leg,  was nice calm and the harpoon is sharp.   Lets see if theres a bighter out there? ???

I've never seen one of those fancy electric reels working so I couldn't tell if it was retrieving or if the fish was taking line until there it was at the top!
I like these unedited clips better.  thanks again for taking me on another great Gary and Ken Halibut adventure.

Nice Gary! as Dave I thought the fish was taking line as well. Ken makes a good partner.

Thanks for sharing these great clips so we could enjoy them.

it looks like the long leader was making it tough, plus the lack of current.  nice shot!
