Crew Halibut - June 22nd, 2011

Some crew went out today intent on catching a big halibut - New crew members all Florida boys and wanted a big fish and they hit a nice one.

105.5 pounds...





Lodge Rule - any guide catching a halibut over 100 pounds goes swimming, either by choice or we throw them in...both these guys were more than happy to oblige!!





And happy about it...



The rules are such this year (Thanks to our Federal Government) that our Guides cannot catch any halibut over 37 inches with guests on board, but when they do NOT have paying guests on board they are only limited by the one halibut per person rule with NO size restrictions...so this is legal!!
