Description

Abstract: The 2023 recreational Pacific halibut season brought along the highest allocation in over 20 years, and the landed halibut was just under 78 percent of this 293,436-pound quota. May was a productive start to the season with roughly 55,136 pounds landed (24 percent of the total landed). The highest landings were in June, however, with 86,582 pounds landed (38 percent of the total). There were 14,842 halibut landed this year, the most since 2008.
