    Nice video, awesome job with the Lingcod. However I've been fishing halibut for over 50 years commercially and sport from Kodiak to Dixon Entrance. I've seen hundreds of thousands of pounds of halibut caught, many way over 100 lbs. The one thing I have never seen in my life was a Halibut that needed to be shot with a gun. Really big Halibut are more docile than smaller Halibut.

    We grew up shooting the big ones. I’ve seen first hand what kind of damage a big fish can do on the deck to people and property. Not always are they violent but I take no chances. Sometimes bleeding them out on a harpoon in the water is a good option as well without a gun. Many ways to land a fish.

    Watch the weather forecasts and make sure there’s plenty of fuel available for long trips out in the Gulf of Alaska. Keep in mind that you are a guest out on the ocean and give it the utmost respect. It sounds extreme but the ocean is unforgiving and offers little room for error. The currents are really strong and the water is always frigid cold, even on a warm day. The adventure makes it worth it though and the fishing is unforgettable! 🐟

    Those 35 lbers can really pull though! I guess there’s a trade off though when it comes to weather. We’re usually a chilly rain and can get some serious winds. I like the idea of fishing off of Cali in a pair of shorts and flip flops! I caught a couple hundred pound stripped marlin down there this time of year a few years back that was unbelievable.. 🐟I typically see a handful of halibut around 100lbs every season up this way. But like everywhere else, they’re further and further away each year…

    You had to go 60 miles from homer to connect with good fish. that is because people have harvested too many of the bigger breeder fish around homer and essentially fished it out. consider releasing the bigger halibut so they can reproduce. 20 to 30 pounders are best eating.

    Good point. Many many years of big fish tourney (Homer Halibut Jackpot) fishing can have this effect. Of course I'm fishing where the commercial long liners are allowed to soak 2000 hooks at a time! My one hook in the entire Pacific ocean 5 times a year most likely isn't the culprit for stock depletion. Your point is valid however and I encourage catch and release when warranted as well. The King Salmon that run into the Cook Inlet are facing the same fate with the advanced commercialization of the industry.

    Charters have the gear you need if you are trying to boat fish, like a heavy duty jigging pole and double action reel. If youre trying to cast from shore on your own then you will need a 15' casting pole with a big spinning reel. 60lb test mono is all you really need but some people like heavier braid. The halibut aren't far off the beach this time of year. Kayaks tend to be successful fishing an hour before and after high tide.

The past four times I have been up there I have only gotten one big ling, yet when I request the captains to target them they give some lame excuse. Most of my party has never done battle with one and I always wanted them to get a feel of it. After a short discussion with a captain out of Homer about getting some lings, he said it would be a 70 mile trip. Instead he kept us close in and in two drops I pulled up two near keepers, 34 inchers. If he would have just dropped a few feet deeper on the pinnacle I am sure we could have gotten everyone onboard one.
