Post by: arimaBOATER on May 13, 2009, 05:15:36 PM
Went to the Arima boat owners site (yuku) & in the FISHING topic area there is a story of a sportsfishermen who caught a 224lb halibut which was very near a record for Washington St. ------------ He launched out of Port Angeles area ( John Wayne Marina) Yes named after the famous Hollywood actor.  He bought & also donated land from that area ( Estate donated maybe???) Mr Wayne had a big sailboat which he would travel from California to Washington St. & return. Quite the big fish!!!!
