I finally caught a 16" Halibut last week and I was trying to unhook it and it bit my finger. Even the small ones are mean and strong and those teeth are real.
Congrats on your first!! That's a significant accomplishment!! haha, and yes they have very sharp teeth. Gotta be careful cuz they'll spazz for no reason sometimes. Tight lines!
Aww man what a bummer. But it happens to all of us. I think what happened with me was my braid got hung up on the connection...I think I left the tag end of the fluoro a little too long. Live and learn. Tight lines!
Last Saturday I played with my LCs at my beach.. I skunked but was nice to just try to stick with it instead of switching back to Crig.. Next time I get back to Cali will do the same thing til I catch a fish with them.. I wanna graduate to LCs.. 🤙🏽
Guys don't ask what beach, your wasting your "breath". Your lucky if he will even mention the county. He's a good watch but don't think for a second he will give locations.
Haha yeah boi!! Good session. It looks just like reeling but you truly are a specialist. Always like to watch that rod load up right before the hookset. I’ve gotten better at surf fishing the LC but this type of fishing is soooo faaaar from easy. But good thing we have the best to teach us how to do it. 🦅 🦅 🦅 🦅🦨 🦨 🦅 🦨 🦨 🦨 🦨 🗑️ 🔥 👍🏻 💪🏻 🤙🏻
Always appreciate seeing your comments, thank you! I'm no different than everyone else....going out there and trying to learn and figure things out each time. Wishing you a great weekend!
haha thanks Eugene, it was indeed painful. But that's all part of the game. Playing it back, my drag was too loose for fishing that kind of structure. Should have had it close to locked down when fishing the edge. Hope you're well!!
Great halibut Benji. Living in Vegas i don't get to surf fish much. Since i have family in So. Cal. I want to get into it. I've never fished braid only mono though i know braid is excellent. Is 15 lb. mono a good choice ?
I don't know who has them but I'm pretty sure they're out there...maybe call the Longfin in Orange or Big Fish in Seal Beach...they typically have the most robust selection of LC's. Good luck!
How far do you usually get in the cast? I don’t have a great rod for the flash minnow but been trying to push it out deeper but can’t seem to do it without adding weight. Any suggestions?

Good video! You gotta try free spool when the fish gets stuck in structure, at least just give the fish some slack
Thank you for posting !!!!
I appreciate it, thank you for the support. Gonna keep doing my best to get content out for everyone! Tight lines!
My first time surf fishing last weekend and I lost my Super Glow OB Sexy Smelt on structure 😭. Had a lot of fun tho, it was worth it.

Thank you Greg (I think?) haha. Appreciate your support and stoke, thank you so much!
That was painful to see the fish get pulled. 😔 But great finish to the session!
