The one boat that we launched today had plenty of crab action on their halibut bait but no takers with scales. Nonetheless, I had an hour of light after work and gave it a try. After hurriedly getting the boat and gear and running down to McClure's, I discovered that the tube on my Bigfoot Baits jig had split on the head. I also had not packed my spare jigs or tubes. So, I jigged my broken one. It still darted on the up and fell slower on the drop. Five minutes later, I saw something on the meter, and a minute later.... 

    .... a nineteen pounder was on the deck. I drove the boat back out to where I hooked up, but after fifteen minutes of jigging the even more damaged tube I decided to leave and reeled up, putting the rod away. I glanced at the meter and saw another line on the meter. I grabbed the rod and cast a little behind the the boat. Jig, jig, bam....

    .... a fifteen pounder. And the tube was gone. After catching only eight halibut. Warranty! Do I know that the lines on the meter were halibut? Nope. I saw something and something bit. Twice. Whether the something I saw was the something I caught can't be proven. But if I see lines on the meter again, I'm throwing a jig at it.
