Holy smokes Ed, that line from the movie Jaws comes to mind about needing a bigger boat!
Mine was when six of us went up to Homer, AK. and I blistered my hand catching salmon about every third cast on the Kenai River. We talked it over and said that we can catch salmon back home in the Great Lakes, so lets try a 1/2 day charter out in the ocean. The first fish I hooked was a 93# halibut that turned out to be the biggest of the trip. Even the first mate wanted his picture taken with my fish because while halibut do get lots bigger, they never catch big ones on the half day charters. Needless to say we charter fished for halibut all that week and each flew home with a 50# box of vacuum packed frozen halibut fillets. Outstanding eating.
