Congrats on your personal best, John.

. . . . . . . . Catching Halibut is right up there with watching grass grow---until you hook one that size. ![]() . . . Big Halibut in that class = dangerous as all hell! Only second in line to a Mako Shark. A White Shark sliding comfortably in third, of course.

Great story, even greater halibut, congratulations. I'd take a beating like that at launch, if that's the reward. Was this in the Long Beach area, or down here at LJ?
Thanks. Aaron

Way to go on that hali, some good fillets for the BBQ. Still haven't got the nerve to hit the open ocean, just the bay for me now.
Fish-on-bro, out.... |
