[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 591534, member: 8394"] Gotta love big fish, those big halibut have a way of getting your blood pumping when they come up. Is that seward or whittier, thats a pile of sail boat masts in the background. Alaska fishing will really ruin a body, makes it hard to fish anywhere else. When my brother and I were little kids our first year on deck we pulled up near 350lbs of halibut in about 45 minutes hand jigging. Drove my grandfather nuts because we had to keep wakeing him up to gaff them because we were to small. We were using hanging twine hand over hand, it always felt like snagging a log or kelp the big ones put up so little fight until that nose clears the water. I hope we figure a way to reign in the whale predation, honestly I think its a bigger problem than the sport vs. commercial debate. Seems like there are some nice fish still out there but the numbers are really down, its either sub 32's or big ones. Congrats on some nice fish. [/QUOTE]
