Dang looks awesome. It seems like your in BC, do you like tuna? Maybe we could work out a trade. Shipping may be a issue do to cost and such but I love those chicken sized Butts for eating, we just don't see them very often here in So Cal. But, RSW tuna (refrigerated saltwater) is very close to sashimi grade if not better.

Fantastic butt fishing.  There's a freezer filled.

The charter owner is a Penn fan and he just bought a new Squall-I was impressed/see why others like them-loaded with 65# spectra.

Rods were nothing special 'Ugly Stick grade' 80# rods-bait Herring or Octopus on a typical spreader bar fished on the bottom in around 250' feet of water-locals anchor for this fishery so it's a bit of a production and not for the faint of heart in the heavy currents sweeping around the bottom of Vancouver Island.
