Hey guys I live hear in Newport beach, Orange County. Fishing is my life. But I went on a dive trip to Catalina last week on my boat Hoping for some White sea bass or yellow tail. Instead I speared one of the biggest california halibut I have seen.
Now im a deck hand on a open party sportfishing boat out hear so i have seen a lot of halibut. And just to give u an idea legal size is 22 inches. And the largest California halibut ever cause was 50 somthing pounds.
This guy was easily over 40 inches and weighed 38 pounds.
quite a trophy in my book, i have never caught one that big on rod and reel ever.
almost lost him it was a crazy story. but none the less great spear placement and I was just barely able to drag him to the surface with me and get him in the boat.
oh and he was in 30 feet of water and i free dive no scuba.
