Thought I caught a world record....
Was out fishing some of our local rockfish with a shimano flatfall jig...and what do you know..? I hang a good one! Now granted this is not that big of a fish overall but for what it is....it's a GIANT! I can't say that I have ever caught one this big before...and I have caught about a million rockfish in my fishing carrer....
It's a HUGE BARBERPOLE!!!! Not quite the all tackle world record of 3 pounds 3 oz....but pretty damn close...Mine weighed in at a respectable 2 pounds 8 oz !

That is a monster barber. Im curious how you were working the flat fall for rock fish? That had never occurred to me.

Just getting it down to the bottom metering fish and bouncing it, nothing fancy. The flatfall seems to work pretty good as a rockfish jig, it seems to sink at a reasonable rate, the rockfish do seem to like it.

Nice Tony!
That's an old Barber Pole. I hope you're happy with yourself you fish killer. If you feel guilty I will eat it for you
