Halibut in the 20 pound range are considered small, fish in the 100 pound range are fairly common and fish over 400 pounds are possible. The fishing charters that target halibut will usually be able to keep you on fish during your entire fishing trip. Sore arms and sore backs are common after a full day fishing for halibut. Anglers typically use cut baits for halibut, but jigs can also be effective.
