Fished with Reel Obsession out of Zeballos B.C. Can't say enough good things about Adrian and Angie and their entire staff. They treat you like a king. The fishing was great and we returned with 3 large coolers of filleted fish. Our guide was Norm and he really worked his tail off to put us on the fish. We've had a blast for 3 straight years now and booked our trip for next year before we left. The highlight of the trip was when I hooked into a huge halibut. Norm knew right away that it would be too large to keep. I fought it for over 30 minutes before it came up to the side of the boat. It took one look at us & then took off and skipped across the top of the waves like a giant frisbee for over a 100' and then headed down again. After another 20 minutes, I finally got it back up. Our guide estimated that it was between 180 to 200 pounds. Adrian said that he has only seen a halibut skip on top like it did twice in all the years he's been fishing. I wish we had a video of it.
Another shout out for the staff at their lodge. You'll never go hungry and will have some of the best dinners that any top rated restaurant would prepare. They are the best!!
