Lil Hali fun!

    Went night diving and found some good butts. Mikey P and I went for a shore dive and in the first five minuted Mike's gun goes off and I cruise over and he says, "wow, that was easy". This was his first butt. I was stoked for him and turned around and kicked twice to see my first of the night. I pulled the trigger and instantly had a twitching hali stoned on the sand. One on the stringer for me and Mike continued to kill some nice fish. He ended up with 3 fish and 2 were 15lbs I'd guess. Mine was just 28 inches and the hali nube showed me how it's done. Way to pop his cherry! Another little confidence booster for the skeptics.

    Nice haul man, halibut are a fun fish to shoot. Took my little brother on his first beach dive the other day and he said he saw a "puffer fish" that looked just like a football that was about the size of his arm. He was afraid to shoot it because he was afraid of the spines. :laughing3::thumbsup2:

    Hey....stay out of back bay.;)


    Just kidding nice meat haul:thumbsup2: I see a pole spear in your future.:D

    Halibut is one off my favorite fish to eat, as I hardly target them. The meat is a little sweet and very delicious. :thumbsup2:


    Cheers, Don

    Attan, Halibut is super delicious...a special fish...the ycan get HUGE...like 150+lbs and as big as a man in length, probably some that are bigger than that too.


    I think, like any fish, as they get TOO big they lose their meat quality, but they are one of my favorite fish

    i like to spear fish

    Our Cali butts can get close to 70lbs, the fishing record is close to 59 I believe. The ones in Alaska are a different
    species.
    Cheers, Don

    cool Don, thanks... iwas thinking of the Alaskan ones for sure... I have been on a boat that landed a 110lber and it was a massive fish :@


    Jay Riffe had a picture years ago with 5 guys that went up there and speared some BARN DOORS in Alaska.
    I don't have a copy of it though.


    I would love to go up with my boy some day and fish for one, that is a big fish Lunker congrets.

    Every time I go out with just a pole spear I don't seen any legal butts.:confused1: I speared on a while back with my old gold JBL polespear, but that was it. I am waiting for the day I come across a BIG one with my pole spear in hand. Im kind of nervous and anxious at the same time. I will be in pursuit for the biguns tomorrow from my boat. Hopefully will get some seabass too:thumbsup2:

    Over seabass hunting....
