 This is Barrett McCombie with the Valdez Fishing Report. Kimberly Baradiano moved to Valdez from the Philippines only two years ago and went halibut fishing for the first time last Tuesday. Baradiano hooked into a 130.8-pound halibut, and her catch put her on the leaderboard for a couple of days. But it was the experience of catching a large fish that helped her understand why people really get hooked on fishing. She went out on an overnight trip with her boyfriend and said initially the trip was more about camping and spending time together. Until she hooked the big one.
