Reel Repair by Alan Tani

This one is on one of my friend who was with us, and her only dream was to catch "a nice flat fish"... This is her result !

Next one, my wife with her personal best on atlantic cod, about 21 kg, caught during summer. In norway the really big ones arrive during the winter, called "skrei"... So 21 kilos during summer is a nice fish !

Another friend of mine with a nice coalfish, "The Norwegian Torpedo", really nice fish to hook... Amazing runs, fast and hard !

This one is on my best friend in fishing, "The Finnish Mumintroll", with his personal best on hallibut, but this year he´s gonna beat that one !

And one that i took during a guided tour, this fish is about 188 cm´s long and his first halibut EVER. He was quite amazed about the strenght in the fish. He wantef to give up several times during the fight. This moment is just before the release.

More love from one of my guided tour... A man and his fish ! :-D

A winter view over the village i lived in during my season of guiding. It´s called "Havöysund" and is just up there, as far north you can get in scandinavia.

Another nice fish caught during a guided tour, about 155 cm´s long and really strong, this one went from the surface down to the bottom, 40 - 50 meters deep several times before we could secure it at the boatside, some quick pictures, and back she went.

This is a picture of the halibut leaving the bottom to attack the lure you can see 8 meters above. This is actually the fish you can see in the post above. I just told him that there was "a rise" and then: BAM a hard strike and of she went !

Once again a picture of my amazing wife, this time fighting a really nice coalfish on light gear ! So much fun !!!

And this is the result of her fight... "Norwegian Torpedo" !

Beautiful!

Wish there were Fluke like that!

Nice shots and if you have any of the Norwegian endemics(gamefish or not)I personally would love to see. Out of curiosity, are any large halibut taken shore casting in your region? If so whats the largest?

Cabin picture is what I imagined for a small fishing village in Norway!  Beautiful
