Winner, winner, Halibut dinner!
Nice day on the water, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Great pictures and report. That looks like a good day on the water to me.
I noticed you saving the cheeks....they are delicious on most fish.

MMMMMM Halibut, and a big YES on the cheeks. Nice knife work as well.

Been a long time since I've had any fresh Pacific Halibut.

The guide is a Red Seal Chef as well so he knows his way around a knife-I actually got more meat off this one than a somewhat larger model caught years before & cleaned by someone else.
Grew up as my favorite, now definitely in the top 5. Good anyway you do it from the smoker to oil and everything in between.
Nice catch
