Recommended Posts

California halibut are really a flounder, just like Fluke. They are distantly related to PAcific Halibut, but are more closely related to Fluke. There aer differnce in appearance that you can see on good pictures. California Halibut are a little more oval-shaped. Fluke are a little more "round" shaped. California halibuts scales arevery small -almost invisible to the naked eye. California halibtu have different spot patterns and differnt colors - they range from darl brown to almost a light chocolate milk color.

 

 

In addition to those differences, California Halibut reach weights of over 70 lbs! The California rod and reel record is 59lbs. I regularly catch specimens in the 25-25 lbs range.
