I can't remember. Maybe doing a google or SB search for big WSB pics. I try to have a typical species for the area represent each section and for the diver to be a forum member. You're no longer in Cali but it's as close as I could get. Unless Don Paul wants to take it away..
Ah-so.
Here's the full pic. It was truly a beautiful fish! My personal best WSB.
Just to add some more flavor to the new Cali section, here's is a picture of my personal best halibut.
Was the hali on a beach dive judging by the sand on your feet?
Yes, it was. I shot the fish in 7' of water. I was on my way in after a 4 hour dive and I spooked a 15 lber in only 2' of water while exiting. Knowing what I know about halibut;) I made an immediate left turn out to open water and found a set of "grapes" sticking up out of the sand after 20' of kicking out. It was the only part of the fish that was visible.
I had no idea that the fish was anywhere near this big until after I shot it and it exploded out of the sand:@ She never gave up until the bitter end. I ended up on my back in the sand with her on top of me, trying to beat the ever-living sh*t out of me with that tail! It drew quite a crowd! The picture was taken not 5 minutes after I pulled it out of the water. That's why it is still all "lit-up" and the fins are flared out.
Our first California report :thumbsup2: Beautiful fish.
Awesome fish!:thumbsup2:
Wow, halibut is one of the best tasting fishes ever, and that´s one toad of a hali.
Nice fish!
