Yep! Had the collars grilled the first night and fried up the bones to chew on and make soup. Froze the fillets and will probably use it mostly for sashimi. We’re going to try it tomorrow for our son’s birthday.

the fish looks like the skin is dry so it definitely lost some moisture. With that being said my guess is that it would have been over 50.............on a bathroom scale.

Welcome to the 50lb club!!

Welcome to the 50lb club!!

I believe we can take this to the bank. The one time I met you was about 4-5 years ago in LJ. I watched you pull in a YT, the a little while later I heard a banging noise. I looked over and you were whacking a nice Hali to make it dead. Obviously you're a man of experience when it comes to big fishies!
