matt, matt, matt, ifeel so sorry that you only caught halibut under
24 inches j/k ill give credit to your dad about beating all of us
although he speared it which does not even make it worthy and he speared it back in the 60s where halibut like that were caught every day but that scrony little trout . as in the good words of former pres. Bush " Not gonna do it".


p.s
you havent called me yet little punk

Thats funny but the picture is 100 years old every cast you could of cought those i was there when you cought that trout it was pure luck and that was our sencond trout you have ever cought so any ways those fish with you and the pier rats thoses are like 20 inch fish so try to get some bigger fish. Owen

Hey Filipe,
I have caught bigger than 24" i caught a 27" PUNK:) j/k
hey i forget to write down your number but i cannot go to cachuma this weekend but Ruben and Able are. so ask one of them about it ight
peace. Oh yea, I just finished the page so there are more pics to look at so check it out
Sorry...California Halibut
Matt

Nice Fish!! A 65 pound California (not Pacific) halibut is huge! I think 65 pounds may surpass the state record fish!? Anyone know what the largest ever caught California halibut weight is?

What's up, Todd? I think the IGFA record is around 53 pounds or so- mid fifties somewhere- not too many over 50 have been caught, but I know the record has been broken a couple of times the last few years. BIG BUTTS!!

I LIKE big 'buts I cannot lie... :7

Not worthy because it was speared? C'mon I know this is a fishing board, but being that I do both, I can say it's MUCH harder to spear a flattie than to catch on a line. Spearfishing for them you are just outside of or in the surf a lot of the time, visibility sucks, you typically see the tail of a flattie flapping in your peripheral vision as it flies away because it saw you first. I'd say you actually get to take a shot at one 1 in 100 times you see one. On top of that, out of the shots you take, you probably will only land a few.

The record for spearfishing a California halibut is 72.5 lb. I believe it was from Santa Cruz Island, but possibly Santa Rosa.

IUSA(International Underwater Spearfishing Association)

World Record California Halibut was speared off Monterey, CA in 1962 by Roy Hattori.

for the picture and details.

That picture of that fish is not the current world record.
Back in 97' or 98' some guy landed a 56lber off of a boat. I dont recall it excactly but i am pretty sure. And by the way harborrat and harbor king...if everyone caught them back in the day where are you fathers pictures of his 60+lbs halibut huh...OHHHHH thats what i thought THERE ARENT ANY!...lol my dad told me that fish gave him a ride of a lifetime;).
Matt

You are correct Pinhead!

The current IGFA(International Game Fish Association) Rod & Reel caught "All Tackle" record was taken June 26, 1999. It was caught by Roger W. Borrell at Santa Rosa Island and weighed 58 lb - 9 oz.

for a picture.

Did I mention that Roger Borrell is a very large man? ;-) LOL!

BTW, the IUSA (spear fishing) record mentioned above is in fact the current record for this particular organization. See for youself:

That fish your Dad has is a monster!!! Thanks for sharing the picture.

Dave(Outrage)

Dave, that is one cool link! I didn't even know a 22 pound cabezon ever exhisted, lot's of cool pics there- Gracias!

I was looking around trying to figure out where I got the info on 72.5 pounder that was speared at the islands. I can't seem to find it, but I know I read it. Maybe being over 30 is starting to have an effect.

Anyway, the point was that I found a page that listed the Ca. state record for a bat ray at 181 POUNDS!!!!

How big would a bat ray that heavy be?

probably having a with of over 5 feet. when i use to fish goleta pier with my friends at night we would occasionally catch some big bat rays over 100 pounds. those things get huge!

uuum pinhead our parents werent even born when your dad speared the fish. just to tell you this is a fishing board.

so how old are your parents filipe? 11 or 12? wow thats young
duh it was caught 11 years ago
you were born BUDDY
thats what i thought...your just jealous;)
peace.
