SP Dan, you're right, that day we caught at least 10 halibuts, they were hungry and eat everything in their way. we caught 1 at 23" and this monster one at 34"

Anh Arthur, it was hell taking this fish up, especially it was hooked on my trout gear with 6lbs test line, pulling him in was very easy until he saw us and we saw him then hell started. luckily with the help of my friends and we had a big enough net to bring the bad boy up. It was a one of the most breath taking moment since i started fishing, thanks god for this one. if i offended anyone by saying this i'm sorry, but this boy fed 10 grown men to the fullest. taste so good with the Heineken!!!

Good luck to all my fellow fishermen out there, keep hunting halibut, they're here!

A 34" Halibut weighs between 15-20 lbs. Great job getting that thing up to the net on light gear. :Thumbs Up:
Nobody should give you any grief for keeping a legal catch. :Wink: The only flack you might get is eating fish from that area. :LOL:

Looks like the LBC is starting to light up a bit. It's always good for the locals when they move into the inlet. One time Wingnut and I fished that area. Everyone in the area was skunked but Arthur walked right out on the rocks and dropshotted a nice legal up right in front of their faces.....LOL
They almost died when he let it go...LOL

Good job on the LBC legal fishaholik....keep it up!
