Halibut can grow to impressive sizes, with the Pacific halibut being the largest species, reaching lengths of up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) and weights of over 500 pounds (227 kilograms). However, most mature halibut caught by fishermen tend to be between 20 to 50 pounds (9 to 23 kilograms). Their size can vary significantly based on factors such as age, habitat, and food availability.

You say Halibut. Halibut is an English word.
First Nations peoples traditionally caught halibut using various methods, prominently including longlines and traps. Longlines consisted of a main line with numerous baited hooks spaced along its length, which were set in deep waters where halibut were abundant. In addition to longlines, some groups used large, weighted nets or traps that could ensnare the fish. These methods were often supplemented by traditional knowledge of seasonal patterns and halibut behavior, ensuring successful catches.
The Halibut is by far the largest of the flat fish, and can weigh over 700 lbs and be over 9 feet long.
It is around 2,000 pounds. Others have been seen that possibly weight more but it has never been caught. Fish this large have historically, been very hard to verify. One was caught off Tokyo by commercial fishermen that weighed 2,433 lbs.
