Great report and nice Butt. But c'mon, a yellow on a Sabiki rig WTF! Well done.

Thanks guys. I was pretty stoked to see such a big Hali and was amazed I landed the YT.

Yeah buddy! Nice couple days fishing

I've hooked a few big fish on the sabiki, but never been fortunate enough ( or had the patience) to get them in. Congrats

Nice couple of days. I hope your brother does not think that Halibut like that are just laying around everywhere out there?

But cummon, tacos really? That is what they make rockfish for.

You know that fileted California Halibut goes for about $23/lb and whole it is about $10/lb. Anyway you slice it up, or not, that is one hell of a catch.

I hear ya, it was sacrilegde. But it was my brother's fish, so he got to do with it as he pleased. Luckily we only used about a third for the tacos, since then we have done the fish justice. There was a lot of meat on that one!
