Gage Vogler caught this 20 pound halibut on Sunday night just after sundown while drifting a live jacksmelt across the bay from the Landing. Chris Wall (of Saturday's white sea bass) caught a halibut yesterday while jigging on the bar. He was waiting for Steve Werlin to spear a halibut but Steve saw nothing to shoot until he got back in the boat. Chris discovered the boat didn't have a functional net once he got the halibut to the boat and ended up hooking it through the gills with a hay hook to pull the fish on board. This is how nicknames get started. "Hay Hook" tried again today but didn't get bit.
