 Here,s a short clip of a pretty nice halbut we drug up to the sunlight a while back.   I enjoyed the fun,  one more time,  and hope you got time to watch it too.  Its always fun to get out of the house and return tired, butt satisfied!     See what you think. :)

Nice Gary, was it a total release area, or did you have enough in the boat, cheers Don.

Nice job on catch and release.  Nice to keep those big breeders going.  Is it true that all halibut over 48 - 50" are females and over 8 years old.  That is what I have been told by a few different sources.  I was also told that females don't begin to reproduce until over 8 years old.

If you ever get the chance I would be interested in seeing photos of your various halibut set ups.

We will meet sometime - my Uncle lives 10 miles SE of Anchorage, AK!!!

Dominick and I have made 2 travel trips to visit Gary-OUR OWN-BUTTman.

Here is our 2017 trip - where Dominick caught and released a 325 lbs. Halibut on this website's BELOVED TANK!!!!

I caught and released 5 halibuts in the 200 - 250 lbs. range on this trip.

Those were some great trips.  I hope we can get together if you are ever down visiting your uncle.  I guarantee you I can not compete with Gary.  We have to drive 2 or 3 hours to the water.  My boat isn't near as well set up as Gary.  I tend to do more fishing than catching.  However if it works out I would be glad to do some fishing with you.  I am thinking I may need a red cooler.
