Diving For Halibut in Northern California

No fish were harmed in this video, nor was any of the footage shot in Humboldt County. Depths ranged from 3ft to 12ft. This footage did not come from a bay, but rather was shot on open coastline 300 yards offshore of a sandy beach.
Video was taken on one day in mid-July, 2011.
The dive board is called a Banks Board and can be found at www.banksboard.com
The camera is a GoPro HD shooting in 1080p, with a (scratched) MAKO replacement lens.
The polespear is a Crist spear and can be found at www.cristspears...
The fins are Picasso Camu fiberglass.

@kaldiver Nope. Those little guys are sand dabs, the medium one that I panned around was a sand sole, and the only halis were the two at the end. Thanks!
