I did a number on them last weekend. 12lbs, 22lbs, and 26lbs. Had a fourth hooked up but lost it at the end of the day. (I'm fishing Santa Barbara coastline). Career day. Both the big ones beat my previous PB. All on live bait 40-60ft of water. Stoked!

That's awesome!  5 halis would be a victorious day, gotta fill the hull with ice first :smt003.  I want to try fishing or diving down there someday, heard good things about SB area.   My neighbor pulls big bugs down there.
