Nice photos and report. At least you got an anchor out of it! That Halibut? Fins near the scar are all gone like it was old, but it still looks kind of raw on the back?

If it wasn't his braid I would think it was a stuck in a net at some point

Agree....regardless of if the braid re-newed the injury, definitely looks like a prior net incident.

Yeah, It was pretty strange. Noticed the fins were deformed along the scar line too, but the cut on the back was definitely fresh. Maybe this particular fish has the unique behavior of getting wrapped on slack line or something? Guess I'll just have to catch him again and ask him
