Halibut Fishing - Give 'em a Smorgasbord! | Alaska Halibut Longlining
We are setting out our longline gear for halibut. Each set is between 10 and 15 shots per set, or approximately 1- 1.5 miles long. Each shot is 100 fathoms long ( that's 600 feet for you landlubbers), with a hook spaced every 15-20 feet or so.
Our longline reel holds about 35 shots, so close to 4 miles of line, and on an average day, we will set and haul 30 to 50 shots of gear.

That is a pretty clever device to keep your hands safe. Whenever i see someone baiting a longline, it makes me think of john c. reilly getting hooked through the hand in that movie 'The Perfect Storm'.

Yeah we’ve seen that one a few times, scary thought for sure. Feels a lot safer setting out this way, there are a few guys on youtube that snap on without a chute and I inwardly cringe every hook.
I really enjoyed your videos. I am probably just as excited as you, when you start pulling in the line, waiting for what is next, giant halibut, octopus, mermaid, who knows. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I look forward to each one.

Glad to see there’s still some line fishery done in a professional way and not all is nets. It’s important to know the source of your sea food and fish. A little “seaspiracy” debunk is all I need

After playing Fishing: North Atlantic i always wondered how longlining works, i never knew that you would actually apply the hooks to the longline haha, video games sure are different from real life

I am very curious as to the way you are attaching the hooks to the long line and then removing them on retrieval of the long line. I am not a fisherman but I am a curious person. Thanks you for any answer you share with me.
@EISAlaska

Hi Randy. If you google longline snap it will show a good image of the snap. You just squeeze it and it opens the end allowing you to clip it on the longline. Removal is the opposite. Simple system, that holds well and under most conditions will not come off.
I'll bet you sleep better with that anti hook bazooka setup.
Congrats mariyappan
Can you please make another video how these hooks are locked to the line without sliding and Where can I buy such hooks. Thanks
im fisherman.i like your style fishing verry simple

Hi. Google "stainless steel longline snaps", they clip on the mainline. You can buy them from marine fishing supply stores.

Do you ever bait the hooks while you are snapping them?
@EISAlaska

Hi Mike. We bait up before we set, because usually it's just Matt setting the gear. If fishing is slow, or we plan on setting back we will rebait when we are hauling gear.

Have you ever tried mono leaders ?
@EISAlaska
Жыл бұрын
We haven't. The issue would be if they get twisted up they are basically ruined. Even some of our poly twine leaders get twisted that have swivels on the snap. The green twine is very durable and holds up well to both chafing, twisting, and hockling.
