Lol! Those are only for people who expect to catch big fish. Besides, I’ve got King Saba - the crazy fish killer.

Beautiful halibut! Looks bigger than 30# to me. Congrats!

ful-rac · 01-08-2018, 05:04 PM

Nice fish!

Glad to see guys get excited about catching a nice halibut like that. Everybody should get excited about catching a fish like that! It's a fish of a lifetime to most people. These days watching Greg catch one...you'd think his dog died...

LEEZO · 01-08-2018, 05:34 PM

congratulations! prize winner there, that one will keep you searching for years to come.

Get over yourself bro. It's a nice fish.

Awesome fish!

octico · 01-09-2018, 12:57 PM

WHOA!

jorluivil · 01-10-2018, 09:16 AM

That's a nice one.

It's hard to estimate the weight of the fish without a scale, I've seen 40" halibut that were 20lbs and some that were almost 40lbs. Regardless, that's a nice fish for that area, congrats!!!

Iceman · 01-10-2018, 09:28 AM

Knowing Tony, I read both of the comments listed as he enviously wishes he could capture that enthusiasm and excitement of the days of old.

I agree, he's so bad at catching now that he couldn't catch his dog if he took the wheels off him.

Really awesome fish! I caught one that was exactly 40 inches this week and it weighed 25.5lbs for reference. Ate the Mac....
