2 Halibut slayed today!!!

  • The hali master is back in action... I heard on a certain f-book that a certain someone dove a certain spot in SoOC and speared a certain amount of halibut... at night. Well I decided to go there and take my hali gun, in the day and trunk it and go oldschool style (trunks, small fins, crappy barrel gun, mask) on the halibut... Vis was 5ft, water was 62*, air was windy 58*, choppy, lots of current and surge... in 30 minutes I nailed two halis... a 24" and a 28". Lots of bait out as well as a crap ton of short halibut and some turbots.


    For lunch I cooked up some halibut cheek, wraped in thin sliced halibut fillet, wraped in turkey bacon, breaded (with floating organic flour bread), and deep-fried in oil.

  • Nice.... I saw some guys fishing your spot, I want to go there with my fly rod.;)


    Cheers, Don

  • Congrats on the nice halis. Someone once told me they had a ziplock full with halibut cheeks in their freezer and his girlfriend opened up the freezer and it was labeled but cheeks. Apparently it caused a bit of a stir as this was all going on around the time Jeffrey Dahmer was around.

  • Very cool, I don't have the balls to jump in just trunk'n it or have a spot that produces like that.


    Josh, I have been meaning to ask you and this for some time and now seems like an appropriate time. How/why do put up with the constant attacks on SB? Not that you don't sometimes bring a bit on yourself, but take this post for example, sure you say hali-master but WTF that is just a little internet chest pounding coming from a 17-18 year old. Then all the guys who are old enough to know better start asking like 14 year old girls with raging PMS.
    Anyway, props for a cool dive and being more of adult than guys twice your age.
    happy hunting

    The old (California section) SB is dead, we all know it, and all those that know it contribute to its killing...



    As for me, I am quite stubborn and have a thick head... you gotta realize that all this is just nonsense on a computer screen. The real world is behind you, to your left and to your right, but the computer screen in front of you and whats on it is just a bunch of random Bullshit.


    No one that gives me crap online ever does in real life... because they are a bunch of pussies!!!:laughing:

    I have met Josh several times and he is a stand up guy with thick skin ( I wish I was as mild mannered when I read stuff on the net). I don't know why people like to read that bullShite over there....what a waste of time.
    I look forward to diving with Josh some day as he always has a big smile on his face....nice to go through life that way.


    Cheers, Don

  • hey man nice fish, i'd kind of been wondering the same thing about SB and everything i've heard on here makes sense.


    also, how long did you stay in when you were trunkin it? i start crampin up and shivering after not too long (grew up diving off the FL gulf coast lol) and my breath holds get shot. mb i just need to take more cold showers..


  • Nice find, I got to show the wife and her family now. I hate the stuff! true Pork bacon all the way! I have been looking at the labels for a year now and they don't believe the black and white... Turkey bacon never gets Bacon crisp and our kids still prefer the regular bacon.


    Damn inlaws and their poison tungs. My wife believes anything they say,, no matter how far fetched.


    @OP - nice knife skills
