This actually happened about two weeks ago, but I'm just remembering to post this (thanks to a slew of emails from a pesky Texan girl who insists on going fishing with me and Penny). ;-)

I tried for halibut first today, but there were so many cod I couldn't keep them off my line, so no halibut. But the kings were nice to me today. I caught and released one that was about 15 lbs. and then caught and retained this one that, oddly enough, was 15 lbs. as well.
