This isn't a picture of me, but the captain of the boat that took us halibut fishing. However, this is a picture of the fish I caught. Believe it or not (and no fish tale) this fish weighed close to 90 lbs. and was as tall as I am at 5'7". He had to shoot it with a gun before bringing it onboard. These fish lay on the bottom of the ocean and can weigh much more than this fish. It took about 15 minutes for me to pull it up from the bottom. Taken in Homer Alaska.

You're right Billy. Although, he was an interesting person to talk with and got us back to port through some rough waters that day.
