Didn't had class until 11 o'clock so headed to the jetty. Got there about 7 after visiting the bait buffet. First hali came around 8 about 17". Missed two hits before that. The next one was at 8:30. That one was 12". After catching the 12"er I move out a little further on the jetty. After about 20 minutes got pick up. Give it some time to take the bait, set the hook and fish on. Fought it for about 7-8 minutes looking for a good spot to bring it on. Finally was able to beach it on a rock. Measure it at 23". Toss out another bait and got pick up again. Fought just as hard as the one before. Got it to the surface, looked about the same size as the 23" hali. Took a pic. Was putting the camera away when it took off under the rock and cut the line. Quick release. Left at 10. Had to get to class.
