You are allowed to measure from the end of the closed mouth to the tip of the tail. Most people think that the longest point on the halibut is the middle of the tail, since it sticks out, but it is best to measure to the top of a tail, just like you would on a striper or perch. I asked a game warden about this and the said it was totally fine.
@@1lilcrazyazn yes, as log as it is a straight line between the tip of the tail and the nose. You can measure to the top of the tail just like you would on a striper
When you measure diagonally, you get a longer measurement. Simple math, look at a triangle the diagonal of the triangle will be longer than the straight portion. Also best way to measure is straight down the middle and line the end of the tape up with the tip of the tail(while still dead straight down the middle).
I don't get to catch(lol) your vids to often but i used to catch a lot in the day,your doing it right brother,they closed all my places where i grew up in in Laguna, forever . .nice vid brother
Hell yeah bro. I live in Port Hueneme and I normally fish fresh water. Today I got 8 surf perch, no keepers. You just showed me what do tomorrow...! Thanks man. I like the rig setup also. Fish and go eat. I love halibut. Thanks for posting...
Have you stopped making videos for some reason? Why? Just curious, I understand other stuff is life :) Super kind of you to take the time to explain your setup and fish to those passers by. Hope to see more videos if you have the time, sad to lost the best fisherman in the area.
Thanks for the great show and tell presentation. This is very educational for those who want to catch legal size halibut. Can't wait for your next outing, God bless young man
Gr8 job young man!! U r repping ur generation extremely well! Excellent demo of tying n using dropshot rig! The cooked fish looked awesome! I'm gonna try that dab of tomato in my lemon butter sauce! I hit the liken sub button. Every state is a lil diff, but I would def check out what is the exact legal way to measure each fish in ur state. In my state the tape measure has to be lying on a flat surface under the fish. The tip of mouth touches 0 n measures str8 line down the middle of fish to tip of the tail
Excellent video; especially informative in rigging up that drop shot. I occasionally fish 3-4 different beaches in the Santa Cruz area for surf perch. Maybe sometime I should try for halibut. What months are the best for halibut? You haven't been surf videoing lately!
Man, I got 25 hali’s this summer and 2 keepers. I’d trade em all for one of your top water stripers. Well maybe I’d keep one. I got all but 3 on a 8 ft Gloomis E6X rod, light tackle all the way. Nice vids man.
Was thinking drop shot right off bat too. Good call. Next time you cook up the hali, fry in a smaller pan remove fish then add white wine and cook it off to get all that fishness then add your ingredients. Reduce then pour over fish. Tell us what you think.
nice vid bro! after i hit you up, i made my first attempt at halibut this past weekend, but i just couldnt find em lol i even fished that same stretch of beach with the same rig, i must have been way too late but maybe next time.. great catch and cook too, hali looked hella bomb!
Love the vids man and appreciate you sharing some knowledge. This is my first surf fishing season and I am having an absolute blast, super addicted hah. Quick question, How late in the year can you usually catch striped bass? Still picking up a few here and there but was curious at what point would I be wasting my time? Tight lines...
Halibut have a protective slime layer that you just destroyed laying it on that log , if you were to let it go. But..brownie points for knocking the fish out before you bled it. Bleeding it and not knocking it out is cruel. Great video !
Shane Howard If someone could please supply a link to where this is stated that would be great. I need to make sure I’m doing it right and as far as I can tell there is no problem but maybe I’m wrong
The Santa Cruz Surfcaster iphc.int/uploads/pdf/am/2018am/iphc-2018-am094-propc10.pdf Just be careful when they’re close like that. If they’re border line close I always release, just to be safe. But great job catch and cook. I must try heading down to that area and try my luck. 👍🏻
sunset beach is a good spot for striper later in the season. metals and SP minnows are good but go with a pencil popper if its calm enough. For halibut you need to find the good spots for yourself (people don´t like it if I give them away) but super calm water is key

Correct me if im wrong but you measured the fish wrong

I don't know how old you are but I'm very impressed. Made me hungry just watching you cook that halibut. Great job catching it
He’s so polite I’m subbing to him !! I love it you give all fishermen a better reputation !! Thank you keep it up
Really nice video, I appreciate you sharing your fishing knowledge and showing the whole process from sea to table.
What a great video. Love it. From bike, to water to table. Well done!
Not sure how old you are but I'm sure you still young. Seeing a young man do all this is very good. Good job.
Heck yea! Light tackle is soooo bomb. Runs for days!
Dude! wait till you see my next video

GREAT VIDEO and recipe !! Keep them coming! 👊🏻
Awesome video! I have never tried to target halibut from the surf, but have always wanted to.
Nice,,,, I have never tried a drop shot set up . Very good video .
This is a great video. I fished very briefly years ago when I lived in the bay area and always dreamed of catching a halibut. Thanks for the tips.
Awesome. I love that sauce u made i usually do the same but never added tomato paste. Ill try that sounds amazing. Raspekt!
Great job using drop rigs for Halibut I use the same thing for halibut. And keep up the great work!
That's awesome! I need to try halibut fishing in Santa Cruz. I normally go to Pacifica.
Great video and info Sir thanks.
I say your video was much more helpful to beginners than some other pros who claim helping🤔 Therefore, you got my like and subscribe
Damn dude! First cast on the drop shot!

02:38 Why three casts? Cool video. I guess I learned that you don't need a drone to fish the shore. god bless
Hey man I want to try surf fishing. If it’s not confidential I was just wondering which beach you were fishing? Btw sick vid!!
Good job dude
Right on!
Buena pesca, delicioso 😋
si fue
I love this am so into fishing
Halibut have a protective slime layer that you just destroyed laying it on that log , if you were to let it go. But..brownie points for knocking the fish out before you bled it. Bleeding it and not knocking it out is cruel. Great video !
Pretty sure he wouldn’t have done it if he was taking it home
Nice doormat! Just dropd that sub bro! Keep grinding!
do you have any vidoes of when you filet the halibut taking the skin off? btw nice catch i enjoy watching your videos
Nice fight brotha, we just gotta work on the seasoning xD
Hi bro can I ask you something what please did you fishing santa cuz beach?

Great video. What test lb is your leader? Is it monofilament or fluorocarbon ? Thanks
Great video man, new sub.

Nice halibut.. where are you fishing at ..🤔..

nice reference bud
@@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231 si senor
Dope good shit bro!!
Hey man I live in Monterey always wanted to come up and fish in Santa Cruz. Where abouts is this if you don’t mind me asking?
defiantly measured the fish incorrectly that looks like a short to me.. he didnt even close the mouth of the fish when measuring
😂 the DFG disagrees
Middle of tail is correct way. That’s a shorty

@@shanehoward9756 that looks like regulations for Alaska. This guys fishing in California
Does anyone know where this is? really wanna take my grandpa out, he’d love it.
Nice looking fish , I’m wondering if it’ll be good in some ceviche !
REY DLS naw man this fish to good and expensive for ceviche
Robert Guzman yeah my neighbor told me the same thing !
With Halibut spawning season upon us, are you expecting to start seeing some showing up in the surf soon?
Probably next month

can you tell what s the best time to go fishing halibut at there? high tide or low tide? thank you
what beach is it?
Good catch bro! Im from watsonville im trying to catch my first ever striped bass or halibut any beach recommendations ??

The Santa Cruz Surfcaster thanks for the info man!!
Hey what fishing rod and reel u used? I'm just a beginner and I'm planning to catch these type of species. Thanks!

Yoo i remember having a small bag too. Caught a 32 inch stripper and had a tail and half the body sticking out lol.
Stripper? Lol I think you mean stripers strippers pole dance striper swim in the ocean
It's a keeper if I measure it diagonally 🤣🤣🤣🤣
