I got a Flat today!

[Topcat]

A Halibut that is. 

She was about 15 lbs. Trolling near Candlestick Park. The wind came in at noon and brought out the Sheep. Called it a day.

We had a couple of hits besides. (we call em drive bys)
Bit minnow that didn't hook em. 

Was a nice day before the wind came in. T shirt weather.

Nice fish....nothing like fresh Halibut!  I can't wait for runoff in the mountains to cycle through....trout fishing should be great out here this year! 

[Topcat]

Thanks guys.

While it isn't a Pacific Halibut species that go up to 500 lbs. It's a California Halibut that get up to about 40 lbs.

Nice catch Mike! The nice thing about flat fish is you can eat all you want without your belly growing!

Yes it is. and will be once again.

There is nothing better than eating fish you just caught. Store bought fish can't hold a candle to hours old catch.

Around here, nothing beats a 'just caught' walleye.

Never even been out to cali,fished out in the ocean in florida though.
