Had a great spring of playing in the sand and was able to spear 10 halibut...
Kept diving and pounding the sand in the summer 2/3 times a week and got 14 more, and three trigger fish, a barred sand bass and my biggest butt to date from the #831 at 34.25 inches and ~18 pounds.
Have been seeing less and less fish as time goes by and to be honest I'm pretty sick of staring at sand so think I might be done for the year...
I keep track of stuff, so know that the 24 butts I took totaled 601 inches, for an average size of 25 inches.
Before this year I had only ever managed to spear 7 total between 2009 and 2017...

We did a ceviche with the first one and it was reallllly good.
Will do the same with the two I have in the cooler right now...heading to Bakersfield this afternoon for my father in law's birthday so will be plenty of mouths to feed. :smt001

What's the chance of you doing a video on how to get all that extra meat outside of the fillets?
