    Thanks Michael. Any halibut over 32" can be retained and high grading is illegal. We don't really target larger fish because the smaller ones work best for our market, but I would say 200 pounds round weight is probably the largest we have landed.

    Hi whoknots. Our permit is for area 3A, which extends west of Cape Spencer to the south end of Kodiak Island, so basically the central Gulf of Alaska. We flip the fish over to keep the blood from pooling on the white side, maybe more habit from the derby days prior to IFQ. That is also the side that is always up when we clean and measure them, so we flip them over that way from the beginning to make it easier to handle later.

  • @EISAlaska

    @EISAlaska

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Dennis, great question. The legal size limit is 32" and up. We measure all the fish that are close so we don't unwittingly throw over legal fish that could be retained. High-grading is illegal in the halibut IFQ fishery, and it makes more work to reset gear to catch fish you could have kept.

    Look I know these guys have been doing this for a long time and sees fish as dollars signs but the are not handling these fish humanely in my opinion.

    Some days it's just fishing, guess if we faked enthusiasm it would be fake. Not to say we aren't enjoying it, we're on the water as a family that's all we need. Take care, richard!

    We have an order of operations, can't gut using the table while we need to pin hooks. And to be fair, he had the boring job, I'd be yawning too.

    @@gardengirl7226 Tristen is a very hard worker. No matter how rough the weather or long and cold the hours he never complains. Just digs in, does his job and makes us so proud.

    Третий день наблюдаю за артелью американских поморов, понять не могу, зачем им двое балластов. Операторшу можно заменить двумя, тремя дополнительными камерами. Юнга вообще, в море ходит чтобы поспать на корыте с поводками, ни азарта рыбацкого, ни интереса к делу. За три дня ни разу палубу не намыл. Кто-то из своих непутёвого племянничка пристроил, так в море работать ходят, а не кататься. Неужели на берегу нет пацанов по расторопней?
