I'm not entering anything but PB's or other noteworthy catches. This was a pacific halibut I caught at Shelter Cove on a long solo salmon trolling mission in the fog where I could only manage a silver. I put a big herring on the bottom just south of the Whiss hooked to a barbless mooching rig and got this fish in the big net in 5 minutes. | Show |

I know this isn't "by the book", but, honestly, I didn't want to mess with this fish more than I had to. It was exactly on my faded 25" mark, and I know the photos don't prove it. If there's ever a dispute I'll pull it. | Show |

I don't have a large caliper made for slimy fish - believe me, I wish I did! These shots are 1) overview; 2) tail from directly above; and 3) head from directly above. I don't think it's precise enough to call it 23.5"+, so 23.5 it is. | Show |

Big ling from The Cape. I have several shots and crops including showing the tape not moving in relation to the dorsal spines in 4 shots in a row, but these are taken holding the camera up over my lap before weighing and releasing, the quality's not great - luckily the ling held still. Hawk took quite a few shots, so hopefully he can turn me on to some better shots to put on here. 23.5 pounds. | Show |
