PEI gets less than one percent of the Canadian Quota, DFO is a joke, money driven politicans scratching backs of the rich.

We caught loads of these giant fish on 1 trip off the irish coast up near rockall in the 80s.Turbot, sole,plaice,monkfish they were all HUGE.Never saw anything like them before or after.We fished till the boat could hold no more, a 90foot trawler and got paid a fortune that week.Would be the equivalant of maybe 4000 or 5000 euros today per man.We were fishing out of killybegs at the time.

the big boys are in the breeding grounds but that's steeling. I caught ones up to 10 ft long four guys to pul them in.

Just another fisherman killing his own future. All Halibut that size are female and they lay may eggs during their lives . Besides its the chickens that taste the best . In fact I am going to cook some tonight , Tight lines to all ! Just be mindful of what you keep .

It's DFO's job to get cheap oil to the states. We are the joke :(
