I, knew it...

Sooner or later!!!!

But I do agree, its hard when its pushed forward, especially with pressure placed in the middle of the fish.

Re: Halibut Weight?

Self-ordained critics on Spearboard seem to be the norm; not the exception!....

That is why I add 10 percent to my fish weights plus another 5 pounds for good measure......

Nobody enjoys a good push more than me. But to push a large fish out like that and then ask people what they think it weighs? Ridiculous.

No. 1: Never push a large fish
No. 2: If you care about your fish weights, get a freakin' scale
No. 3: SpearBoard is the wrong place to ask people what your fish weighs. What type of response do you really think you're gonna get here?

Re: Halibut Weight?

Personally? I think if some of the self=centered, ego driven critics would post in a positive opinion mode, this site would be a lot better off......Most old timers I know won't post online anymore because they got fed up with being attacked over petty ass issues.....but, what do I know?.....

Re: Halibut Weight?

I found this chart was spot on for my 42" halibut
