52 pounds on July 4th, 2001 at Possession Pt 42 feet, anchovie. A rough and crappy morning, only us and 2 other boats went out. The wife of the Bass player for the Aussie band "Powderfinger" caught it. The first fish she ever caught!!!
I keep logs so here are all my over 40's. Sooke caught - 52, 49, 48.8, 47.8, 46, 45, 45, 44, 43, 43, 42.8, 42, 41.8, 41, 41, 40.8, 40.8, 40, 40, 40, 40 & 40. Bamfield caught - 45, 40 & 40 Gold River caught - 43, 42, 42, 40 & 40. My first over 40 was taken in my first year of chartering in 1986. 40 pounds July 31st also at Possession Point. Funny I liked fishing there in the early days but don't enjoy it much there anymore.
