went camping with family to south beach state park in newport,or.the guy camped next to us had a big(24ft)boat.he asked me if i wanted to go fish offshore with him,since his buddys had a mechanicial break down.so i said sure.so the next morning we run 10 miles in 6-8 ft swells to his gps spot.in the next 3 hours we hooked and landed a 53 inch(65-70lbs) halibut and a 45 inch(35-40lbs).we were back to shore and had our fish prossed by 11.i came home with 35-40 lbs of meat.tight lines.
