Here's a cool video I came across on YouTube that shows how a California Halibut stalks and ambushes a prey.

ahh very cool. there was a thread last week in off topic showing similar footage of an atlantic hali following bait for a while before it struck and we were wondering if a california hali would act the same way.

Wow, im actually surprised by how much time the first hali took to inspect the bait. A fish like a halibut, I would expect to be a little lazier on not follow that far. Maybe he/she just wasnt very hungry. The second fish that hooked up did bite on the initial approach, hungrier fish?

Imma check out his other videos! this white seabass related video looks interesting...
