That abalone is bigger than I thought.
This one is ten inches in its largest dimension. Somewhat of a prize catch, as Matt stated - my first. Legal size to harvest is seven inches. Since commercial abalone harvesting is no longer allowed, I belive most restaurants are limited to purchasing from abalone farms. Farm raised abalone can be much smaller when sold. Abalone can only be taken by recreational/sport free divers - no tanks and for personal use only.
Just got mine, what a great design and sheath
