baluga Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Woke up early to meet my buddy in the surf. Tide was high and water is calm and clear. IT was lake like condition. I needed a casting distance so I use my Core 100 on GLoomis CBR843 with 20# PP S8S. Started at 6:30am, fan casting the beach. A few bait fish jumping here and there but no bites for the first hour and a half. While talking to my buddy I got a hit, set the hook and game on. This one gave me good long runs almost thought it was a Bay Ray until I see some colors. Here she is 37" California Halibut from the surf. 3 Quote

baluga Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Thank you all for the nice comments! That's a nice fish looks like u could use as a doormat Thanks. We actually do call the big ones like this as Doormat or Barn Door. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 26, 2013 Super User Posted April 26, 2013 We call big flounder down here doormats as well, I took a photo for a friend of a 30" one, must have deleted it from the computer, can't find it. 1 Quote
