8' 2," 533 lbs. Halibut, Bering Sea off St. Paul Island, Sept. 2003
ANCHORAGE -- What might be the largest Pacific halibut ever documented was pulled from the Bering Sea off St. Paul Island Sept. 5 by the crew of the fishing boat Miss Mary.
The 8-foot, 2-inch behemoth was estimated at 533 pounds -- based on its length, according to crewman Barry Davis of Anchorage, who provided photographs of the fish taken aboard the longliner skippered by his brother, Pat, from Seattle.

Now that is a nice fish! I fish around here for their smaller eastern cousins, the Pickerel. Identical fish looks wise, but big one's around here are only 2-3 feet max. And they fight like hell!!
And have big teeth!
