Finally we get one!

After all of our times we have been out fishing it has finally happened. We put out our skate line with 15 hooks baited with squid, left it over night, went back and we got a halibut!!!! May not have weighed in at more than maybe 5-6 pounds but I tell you, the piece we had for dinner was about the best fish I have eaten. Put the line out for a second time and all we got after 1 1/2 hours in the water was 3 stupid Rock fish. They are ugly, prehistoric looking fish, but they bake up pretty nice. I am not a big fan of eating rock fish, especially after the halibut the night before. LOL
But we finally got our halibut . Stopped in at the cleaning station to clean all of our fish and a weird local man, we presumed, had nothing nice to say about anything we were doing. He didn't like the knife Michael was using, why is he cleaning the fish this way, why don't we fish out at the cape, the rock fish we caught were crap fish, why do people waste so much of the fish, blah..blah..blah
I was thinking, why don't you get the hell away from us and let us clean our fish in peace. Hahaha
Small is best for halibut!
