good for you but a year sounds like a long time. but i'm not from that area so i woulnd't know what it's like

Nice one!!! If you went a year without catching and this is your first, you most certainly earned that one!!!

Holy crap that is a big ass barn door!!! You're one of the few people on this planet that has a bigger PB fish than the darkhorse.

Nice fish!!! Congrats man. Nice work!

Good luck topping that! That might be a IGKFA record at 53lbs.

Nice Fish! Did you catch that beast north of the pier or out by the kelp?

The California angling record stands at 58 lb. and 9 oz. caught by Roger W. Borrell at Santa Rosa Island on July 26^th, 1999.

72 lb. and 8 oz. halibut was speared at Santa Cruz Island

Could be a Line class record though! That fish is probebly 30 years old. Since they have banned the gill netting those fish have the chance to grow big like that.
