Who's headed out opening day? Halibut

please forgive my ignorance.... are there no size regulations for area 18 and 19? I thought hali fishing in bc was...complicated. The fishingbc app and dfo website make no mention of any restrictions? There is of course mention of limits of 1 and 6 and also a reference to fn0156 but when i search for that I get nothing, or an ancient reference to herring? My licence is in my boat so maybe that is where the info I need is? I'm not targeting hali but I'd love to know the limit if I scratch one up trolling. thanks
