Fishing is an illusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes. .
We traditional liars have a tough time working at Silver Fox Charters. They are disgustingly scrupulous about weighing our catches, right down to using a State certified scale to weigh all the big fish. The average size halibut for the season on my boat the last few years has been between 36 and 42 pounds. So for every monster load you get you'll have one where most of the fish are in the teens. This is a Great Day 950 lbs.
