BIG Ol' Flat Fish!

Big Halibut.
This is my personal best "fish".
I'll break my own record someday. This was in '85.
The big fish was my very first Halibut over a three year period of targeting them about twice a year. The first one was the best one! I'll never forget how tight the line was and the back breaking it took to get it off the bottom in deep salt.
I always got fish, but never repeated with a fish of this size. Although one time I had a 100 pound stainless leader get bit through like it was butter. We thought that fish was probably a monster Ling-cod.
Estimated by a commercial Halibut fisherman to be in the 110 pound range.
Not weighed, only filleted.
