The Umpqua Post :: Anglers catch a 115-lb. halibut

The Umpqua Post :: Anglers catch a 115-lb. halibut: "However, there have been a few surprises. The biggest, so far, occurred during a lingcod trip by several Winchester Bay anglers to Charleston where Rich Olson used a four ounce lead jighead and a plastic worm to dredge up a 60-inch halibut out of 130 feet of water.

According to Larry Scott, one of the anglers fishing out of Tom Roden’s boat, the lunker halibut weighed 115 pounds, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife formula for figuring a halibut’s rough weight based upon length."
