Good luck on your halibut fishing trips, tight lines! Once the length is known use the halibut weight table to determine exactly how much it weighs. DFO has provided some recommendations for measuring halibut length for the purpose of catch and release. This forces sport anglers to release larger halibut ensuring that the largest breeding halibut stocks are released. The size limit will also lead to retention of smaller halibut of shorter lengths and lower weights. The size limits are intended to reduce the overall weight halibut caught in the sport fishery. In British Columbia starting with the 2013 season, the regulators have restricted the harvest with a specified maximum size limits for halibut. Use the comments below to let us know the weight of your largest and if you were able to weight the halibut on a scale let us know if the actual weight was similar to the weight based from the halibut length weight table. Our boat record has been 104lbs since 2012, in 2018 we caught a 125lb halibut while fishing in Alaska. We’d like to know about your boat record halibut. For the purpose of catch and release fishing for these larger breeders, the halibut weight length table is useful to get a reliable estimate of the halibut weight for bragging rights, before release. A female halibut could lay up to 4 million eggs, depending on the size of the fish. It is important to release the larger breeding halibut since the larger the fish, the more eggs. Halibut research confirms that the majority of large halibut are female.
