Butt!

So is ours for the California butts like these...



Your limit in the south is 5 @ 22" ours North of Pt. Conception is 3 @ 22" and they reach a maximum size of 70 pounds or so but are more common at 20-30 pounds.


However Pacific halibut like these...



Are the ones like you see taken out of Alaska and get super size like over 500 pounds.

One guy last year took one here that went 103 pounds and there have been quite a few in the 40 to 70 pound range, size limit 32 inches and bag limit one per day.

I'm not sure I wan't to tangle with a hundred pound butt in my 150 but I'm willing to go a few rounds with a 50-60 pounder.

Don't 'ya hate a know it all
