Lizard Fish - gvanzant - 11-04-2002
Over the years investigating fish stomachs I have found the prolific lizard fish in the gullets of many of the fished I have caught. The largest halibut I have seen caught was observed chasing and inhaling a hooked 20 inch lizard fish. The butt was in the 40 pound class and seen by a number of anglers as it actually splashed on the surface chasing down the "lizard".Lizard fish live in exactly the same habitat as the halibut and become a common food source for "butts". So don't throw them back when you catch them, toss them in the bait tank while you tie on a number 7/0 hook. Pin the fish through the upper jaw and drop him down to the bottom and wait for the giants. George

Good tip George. We have afish down here by the same name so I am wondering if you have a pic or a link to a pic so I can take a look.
