Finally Broke My Pb Halibut From The Surf 4/20/2013

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.
