Morning went from 0 to 100 FAST!!!

The first glimpse I knew that I had a good halibut, but I didn’t know if it was an underlegal or a overlegal. With my line tight and walking backwards, I caught my second glimpse of what was at the end of my line. Immediately from that second glance I knew I had a keeper. Once beached, I measured it at 23’ inches (on a later remeasure it was actually 22.5). I did hesitate whether to release my first legal butt back or to take it back for the family. As seen in the last section of the video, I decided to keep it as I knew that this might be the only time I catch a legal hali in a while. I don’t harvest fish often, but when I do I make sure to dispatch the fish Asap, and to appreciate the fish for providing a meal for me and my family. Along with that, I also do my best to follow the regulations regarding specific species to ensure I’m doing my part to ensure sustainable fishing practices. With that said, I’m sure as hell stoked on my 3rd halibut on the fly!!!
