This is really cool footage!! It was so cool to see that big halibut come back for it three times at 3:00

Really cool video! You can see all that you feel when a halibut takes the bait.

Lol the way you can hear that first hali chomp down like a cartoon sound effect hahaha love hali

Cool underwater footage, thanks for sharing.

Great footage

Thanks for that Gordon.

Nice video. Could you show how you did the whole rig with your camera?

Nice halibut, I actually caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago.

Nice!

Amazed the fish aren't bothered by the incredibly visible line. They just grab the bait, sometimes several times and come back for more. So much for invisible fishing traces!

That is some amazing halibut footage. It's crazy that some people think halibut are line shy.

Cool video , They are very bizarre looking fish.

Wauw great footage, where in Norway is this?

Wicked footage how do you set that up???

SET the hook!

They bite so soft in this video it’s like they’re chewing on it.

great perspective this exactly why I don't use circle hooks, most of the guides I know run tandem octopus hooks about 6 inches apart

1:59 the guy needs to sharpen the hook... or better yet use a circle hook

Clueless fisherman, fails to notice a 20lb fish on his line, who was operating that rig? The great grandson of Helen Keller?

percussion 44 it’s actully really hard to feel them bite because they will just swim with the line, you won’t even notice them. Also he is probably just trying to catch some good footage.

Is this a big circle hook? I'm just amazed at how much they spit the whole rig without getting the hook!

We fish with both but that was a big circle hook, it was kind of surprising how they would spit it out. Currently rethinking the whole circle hook vs J hook thing

I used a gopro rigged to a hook spreader. Depending on light and visibility it was good to about 100 feet.

@@robertmacabuhay8474 I'd send a picture of it but it is on the boat 2000 miles away, but I'll describe it best as I can. I took a wooden dowel about 3 inches long and maybe 3/4 inch diameter then cut a 1/8" groove in it lengthwise for the spreader to seat into. I put the dowel on the short side of the spreader and held it in place with two small hose clamps and some JB weld to keep it from turning on the spreader. Then I attached the gopro to the dowel with a handlebar mount. I also used some halibut line to that I hooked from the gopro case to the swivel above the hook spreader just in case things went south. It takes a bit to get the correct angle on the gopro but they shoot so wide it isn't too big of a deal. Enjoy and have fun and I'm not responsible for people's gopros floating around the pacific. Cheers.

Wow, didn't set the hook! We use baits that look like squids with bait and scent.

Thanks for the comment. We used to use circle hooks that are used for commercial fishing, The circle hook is supposed to self set when the fish swims off. After the video we mainly use J hooks now. The other advantage of the circle hook is they don't get swallowed and are easy to release when you get into a bunch of small halibut, they are also good for inattentive anglers.

At first, I thought this was a documentary on the Halibut without the use of hooks, but when they reeled one up and had a gaffing hook ready to go, it was evident that these were fishermen. Clearly, you would have much more success if you were to monitor your lines and set the hooks instead of crossing your fingers and hoping a Halibut accidentally hooks itself. They weren't "fishing" they were "trapping."

Alaska? The message seems to be if you see movement on your rod tip start reeling to set the hook with those circle hooks.
