My son was fishing backside Catalina in 100 feet of water. The yellows were acting up and they had landed 4 fish. He cast a flylined dine out in the prime area and got a weird pick-up and after a weird fight landed a 30 pound halibut. We all know that halibut prefer the bottom but this butt picked up that dine in about a depth of 10 feet, 90 feet from the bottom. I have seen halibut boiling on bait in the surf where the bottom depth is less than 10 feet but this incident is s first.
