Nice big fish, the meat on a halibut that size is pretty grainy but there are lots of recipes. Most definitely a female since males only get to around 60 lbs. My best on sport gear is around 150 lbs, commercial-wise my brother and I boated 11,000 lbs. back in 1982 during a three day opener south of Juneau. We were paid 2-3 dollars a pound back then. The prices today are ridiculous.
I’ve lived in Juneau since 1997. I’ve seen some photos of 400+ pound halibuts pulled out of the waters around here. They can get amazingly huge.
Few times I’ve been around that tack
So i’m not just talkin’ like that smack
‘Cause I am the HALIBUT girl
I am the HALIBUT girl
Just a few changes.
I caught a 756 lb Warsaw grouper that looked about that same size. Why would an over-grown flounder like they had weigh so much less.

Man Well that was really horrible.
Woman You’re always complaining.
Man What’s for afters?

Man Strawberry tart?!
Woman Well, it’s got some rat in it.
Man How much?
Woman Three (rather a lot really).
Man ... well, I’ll have a slice without so much rat in it.
Drat, I was up in Ketchikan last month, fishing report was bad, so I didn’t go.
He’s an ‘alibut. I chose him out of thousands.
Video is great......
They are just trying to say she married a fat guy who is transitioning to thinking of himself as a big fish.
“I started reeling it in and then my dad helped me. And then a big fish came out.”
Must have a strong dad.
Alright, who cleans it?
My goodness. That is huge.
I was in Ketchikan last week and both halibut and king salmon were in very short supply on the days I fished.
She goes fishin’ just for the halibut...
