Nice.

We pulled in some halibut south of Prince William sound. Captain said they were 45-50 pounders. I was feeling like a pro. We got back to Seward to have them filleted and shipped. I noticed a picture on the post of a guy with a 110 pounder. Oh well!

Good eating for a few weeks.

I don't know about this sort of thing so I'm just guessing, but would there be a chance that such a huge catfish as a 110 pounder while impressive in size might not be quite so good to eat because it would be considerably older than your 50 pounders?

Perhaps you ended up getting the better dinner?
