Jeff Breidenbach says: People think a halibut on a fly is some six hour epic battle…but you can put the screws to a deep heavy fish with a proper (13-16 wt) fly rod the same as you can conventional gear. This is a Sage RPLXi 13 with a Gulfstream which both still fish like champs. In fact, I think a lot of big fish actually come in easier on fly because they’re not pinned to no-stretch braid on a pool cue rod and they don’t “panic” as much and are more agreeable to coming in. This is a halibut from many years ago (probably 2000-2001) when I actually had someone else in the boat to get a pic of the fight. #kodiak #alaska #alaskalife #flyfishing #flyfish #halibut #justforthehalibut #sageflyfish #tibor #tiborreels #skifflife
