I caught one in Alaska one time that was almost that big. It was only about 350 lbs. smaller

I want to see the ''sweet cheeks'' they carve off that guy.

from growing up in Alaska I found the bigger halibut actually have a more "gamey/fishy" taste to them... the best ones are in the 50-75lb range (younger), but still thats a yuuuggggge fish! talk about feeding a village!

Yeah I agree that the smaller ones definitely taste better. Still, I would love to have the experience of hauling in a 400 pound flatfish!

I'd gladly hand you the rod

Smaller are tastier for sure. Friend of mine who operates a charter boat caught a little 96 pounder and figured he had his winter fish. He said three 30 pounders would of been better! Best tasting fish IMO, surgeon a close second.

Same here edslhead, my back hurts just thinking of being parked on a rod & reel for an hour. The 150# Marlin I caught (with help from two others on board) in Hawaii in 2010 put me in traction for 2 days!!!!

Damn. Well halibut that.

 

[clearconscience]

Give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll try to catch a fish big enough to feed the whole village.

Or something like that.

Or something like that.

That does look like fun though! Nice fish. I struck out in HI, just a dogie an a dolphin. We got an 84 ld halibut at the rock pile once and I was glad I wasn't the one hooked it

 

[Caveman Jim]

That's why Halibut, Goliath Grouper and big Blue Tuna are not on my bucket list.... lol
