However, I will be thanking for myself for putting in a 7.5 hour shift on the water after only 4hrs of sleep.

Sequence of events:
1. It's just after 1200 and I've been on the water since just before 5am
2. I have my last two live baits in the water
3. Rod on the right gets hit by the right kind just the wrong size
4. I snap a photo of the little fella and toss him back
5. I cut my sinker off of that rod and put it away, just about ready to call it a day
6. The rod on the left has a small shake, goes limp and has another shake
7. Since the line is drifting under my kayak I pull it out of the Orca and hold it out on my right side
8. rod shakes, shakes a little harder, loads up and the line starts screaming off the reel
9. I fight the fish for 5 min on a light-medium action Teramar rod, it made 4 runs and each time I prayed that it wouldn't bust off. To be quite honest I was really praying for a halibut but I'll take what I get

Congrats! I still don't have the patience for Halibut or WSB. I guess that is why I am not catching any.

Nice work. It's great when the long hours on the water pays off. I've got to get me one of those...What kind of shoes are they?
