My buddy caught this halibut on Thursday. It bottomed out the 50 pound scale. Unfortunately he never got a final weight. It was 52 inches long. Any guesses?

58-60? holy crap i saw a 4-5 lb calico with tooth marks from head to tail now i know what it was

Wow. Some big flatties being caught around SB right now. I kayaked by a boat on Friday afternoon that that a 45-50lb hali onboard.

nice chart

halibutmike · 07-20-2009, 09:06 PM

The charts that ladr mike posted are as good as you are going to get.. they are based on a lot of measurment...... Somewhere between 50 and 60 but most likely about 55#s

NICE!

Scott Diego · 07-20-2009, 09:09 PM

I was thinking 55 lbs. as well. Nice flattie nonetheless.

That fish was older than most of you, me too maybe. Nice chart.

I just wanna know how deep.

Eytan · 07-20-2009, 11:44 PM

Holy **** that's a beast, ill have to congratulate him next time I see him. That is over 50 for sure.

Great fish! Caught as in H&L or caught with a spear shaft?

Diablo Loco · 07-21-2009, 12:07 AM

The one in my avatar measured 54 1/8 inches. We used a digital scale that someone left on board. It showed 59lbs 13oz for mine. Not sure on accuracy of the scale, but was told that it was about right. 55lbs to 60lbs would be my guess for the one in question. It even looks a little fatter than mine. Very nice fish.
