Big but

So a powerboater pulled this beast out of the bay this week. The small one for reference is 25”. Said it weighed 53.8 lbs after bleeding. What a slab.

That's crazy. I can't imagine what the fish tastes like 

Holy halibut. Do you know whereabouts in the bay?

That's a biggun.  I have heard that they used to get that big in Tomales about 60+ years ago...

South Bay in the area of Candle Stick, and ships is what I heard. Some fair sized ones being picked up around ARW too. South still seems the most productive these days.

The discussion around this fish....among charter captains that have fished these waters for decades taking thousands of clients, this one might be one of three of such size that folks can remember. Really an amazing catch, fish of a lifetime! Also, you never know what you’re gonna catch out there! You never know until you go!!

Wow! Looks to be well over 50 inches...

 

That's crazy. I can't imagine what the fish tastes like 

Like worms dipped in mercury.

I'll be really interested who can honestly say they would take some pictures and release this beast!

WOW
