The IPHC has come out with new length/weight tables for each of their management areas. Here's a link to 2A (WA, OR, N. Calif.)

How come my favorite 53 inch halibut lost 20 lbs?
Is the old scale too generous, southern halibut skinnier than northern halibut, or have our halibut shrunk over time?

I was thinking the same thing. Kings and halibut are surprisingly similar in proportional length/weight relationships. Was shocked to see that a 44 inch halibut is only 28 pounds. A 44 inch Kenai king weighs 38-39 pounds.

Then I saw this... net weight vs live weight.

Net weight: The weight of a fish with head and internal organs removed. In Pacific halibut, that is approximately 75% of the round weight. (c.f. round weight)

Details, details....
