What happens then if someone tries to weigh in a fish that is too big besides the obvious? Just curious.72 held. Sounds like some oversize came in as well.

Exactly. So the question to throw out is... How does everyone measure their Hali's? Currently I use a rope with a tape mark and 2 of us hold it out and do our best to get a measurement and then error on the side of caution. I have thought about rigging an clip, some 40lb test and a Spin&Glo for a total length of 133cm. Then clipping it to the end of my harpoon with the idea of holding the tip at the nose and the current and Spin&Glo will stretch out the line. I'm thinking this would give an easy over or under 133cm visual check.So everyone here can be 100% sure that their halibut isn't 1 cm over the limit while it is in the water? I'm sure these fish were so close to 133cm that you wouldn't be sure unless it was layed flat on a board that had a 133cm section for it to fit into. If someone brought in fish 3-4 inches over yes then shame but no one has said this was the case. It would be embarrasing regardless to be refused at the scale even if it came down to being a hair's width over.
