A buddy and I fished the rough waters of the staits for 2 days and on Saturday we decide to move in and find a place to sit down out of the wind for a half day of fishing on Saturday. Well 10 minutes into the morning Don Wood hooks this big one. After a 40 minute fight we unhooked from the anchor and went on the chase. Ended up with this 140 lb 65 in. halibut. Fished black label harring on the hook.

You mentioned that you cut loose from your anchor. What type of anchor setup were you guys using?
