I can't express how happy I am to see a video of the "little guys." Probably thousands of videos made on the boats of huge, expensive operations. Don't forget, guys and gals like you are the backbone.
Just saw your video what a wonderful video you're living the dream well trained crew that makes a big difference when fishing I'm going to look for more of your videos thank you
Great video...enjoyed how everyone knows just what to do but you still reminded them and encouraged them. Great teacher!! Tough job on a small boat...must be pretty dangerous if the weather was bad. Thanks for sharing this!!!
Some people are known to shore fish that way. If you're on an island with a sudden drop-off you secure your long line to the shore and take the other end out onto the water in a boat and stretch the line out. You have a lead ball on the far end with 5 or 6 clips and circle hooks at maybe 25 foot intervals and bait the hooks up. At least this is what I've heard. Great video. I'm a commercial diver and I often pass by a fish processing plant in Port Hardy, BC and see the totes full of halibut fresh off the boats. Man, some of them are big. Biggest I ever caught personally was 101 pounds, followed by a 77 pounder, within a half hour of each other.
I was a “dragger” (trawler-pulling big nets) out of Charleston, Oregon for 20 years. We’d often catch halibut “incidentally “, big ones. They are a strong, hearty fish. On a small boat like that, a flopping halibut can cause problems. That’s likely why they club them in the head.
What prevents the hooks from running together? or sliding together, they hit bottom before that happens probably. I could do that all day long and enjoy it.
How many permits or licenses does one need to run a Long line business in Alaska any help would be appreciated great video too had some really good camera work
Awesome catch !! I live in Florida on the space coast and fish Port Canaveral quite often. Record flounder here in Florida is barely over 20lbs. Nowadays if you can get a 10-12 pounder you’re doing great. Every time I see a big halibut I can’t help but think it’s just a giant jacked up version of our flounder...wishful thinking on my part !! We have to beat the cobia here like you’re doing to the halibut there otherwise they wreak havoc on your boat or anyone close to them.
Fish is my favourite food, how I would have loved to have met that crew at the dockside, and bought one of those of fish. I would have rushed home, sliced it up, cooked a large portion...along with generously cut British style chips and fast frozen the rest.
ha ha. I am a very small boat in the halibut industry. 800 hooks is minuscule in comparison to what is typically fished . The halibut fishery is actually one of the most regulated and watched fishery in the World.IPHC It is internationally controlled and fisherman all have a quota. I could fish it one hook at a time or 10,000. I have a set quota and that is what I catch. And all the catch is very regulated at the docks and enforced.
The only reason I ask my other question was that’s a tiny boat, I can only imagine a very large or say 1000 tiny boats doing the same thing everyday... how is it that the ocean recovers so quickly? I am so proud he is teaching his kids the trade
William Coley they set a quota by what can sustainably be removed, and they only issue so many commercial licenses. Fishermen will go hungry/broke before the fishery is hurt
Nice job Len, in ALL aspects! BTW this is Fred, not Les. Les is taking a vacation from RUclips, FaceBook and various other forms of internet interaction :) I'm just cruising his account now :)
They are a Stainless steel Clip that closes on the line pretty tight. A big fish can move them to some degree but the line is not super tight so it is pretty hard to move them.

You fishermen are son underapreciated. I wish the best for you workers that keep this world going round.
Awesome to see you and your family out working hard together and enjoying it. Something we should all strive for!

Just saw your video what a wonderful video you're living the dream well trained crew that makes a big difference when fishing I'm going to look for more of your videos thank you
Great job brother. Great father and great time with your children. May the Lord bless you and keep you all.
Great video...enjoyed how everyone knows just what to do but you still reminded them and encouraged them. Great teacher!! Tough job on a small boat...must be pretty dangerous if the weather was bad. Thanks for sharing this!!!
That was soooo cool! Thanks for posting!
This video is well put together. Very good job!...and nice catch!!
Great job on the video Len. And you are mighty organized on that limited decks space.
Love the video and your helping hands leaned alot from you skipper great job anyway bula vinaka from fiji islands cheers ✌ ✊
Thanks for the great video! I had Halibut for dinner tonight!
Great video!! Thank you for sharing
I love Halibut! thanks for providing me the continuity to eat it here in the Southern USA.
A fine boat and able crew! Great video, I would bet those girls are captains by now! Thank you!
what a great life ,fishing with your own kids having fun making a living that they will continue for years
What a cool guy too work for!!! Some of them old captains are angry all the time... can tell he loves his life...

Its not just the fishing I enjoyed , Just look at the great back ground view ,some fantastic filming ,,,,
That's an honest day's work! Really good crew!
Very cool and informative. I like the pole camera angle ;-)
Nice job you all work hard for your living. Great video
Great team work guys thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Raised them to work hard.
Great team work! Great catch! Once you've been a commercial fisherman recreational fishing is like child's play 🤣🎣🌴
une très belle partie de pêche , bravo les amis d Alaska . super video .
Great experience for those kids!

Thank you for catching the best eating fish in the world!
Black Sea Bass is pretty tasty and does not dry out like halibut. I've fished alaska for years and turned down halibut. that's only me.
It is very, very good, but I'm a cod fan. They're being overfished too.
That looks like an original George Hamm design hull, about 28 foot. I grew up in Seldovia, we had a 28 foot Hamm, great boats.

Thanks Corbett.
"First it get's the hook, then it get's the wompin' stick" Nice video, enjoyed it very much!
Called a "priest" in Scottish fishing villages.
What prevents the hooks from running together? or sliding together, they hit bottom before that happens probably. I could do that all day long and enjoy it.
Nice family nice fish.. LOVE IT !
I'd love to be able to work on a small operation like this. Looks enjoyable and rewarding.
I would love to go fishing 🎣 there
nice camerawork and nice fish!
Those are some tough girls, you should be proud.
Great job filming in Hi-def
funny to see how this comment has aged and how standards have changed in terms of high definition...
love this video , a nice operation u have going on there !
How many permits or licenses does one need to run a Long line business in Alaska any help would be appreciated great video too had some really good camera work
WOOOOOOOOOOO WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! Great job !!!!
amazing how calm the water is
Great sync work crew!
longline fishing is the cleanest way to get fish onboard. Almost no by catches. Nice video! Hope you get a good price.
Here in OZ we call the killing club
" The Priest "...as it delivers the last rights.
How do you eat Halibut.
Nice video Len, well done!
Awesome catch !! I live in Florida on the space coast and fish Port Canaveral quite often. Record flounder here in Florida is barely over 20lbs. Nowadays if you can get a 10-12 pounder you’re doing great.

wonder why they scrubbed the anchor?
@@fishen823 That was just to keep the mud off the boat. Pick up lits of mud in that area from what he said in the video.
I could see myself doing this as a summer job!
come to norway Lofoten Islands and catch some cod! :) Nice video Len!
Skrei fishing in Norway!
some nice halibut and i seen that you let what i think was a skate go free...no commercial value?
I watch videos like this just for the halibut.
WOOWOO HEY! WOOHOO! WOO! Not much else here. Nice fish too.
You got a nice crew, guy !
Fished out of Petersburg AK -- nice video !!
Great work and that was really big fish👍
I have a question about longlining. Since the hook/leaders are clipped to the main line what keeps them from sliding together?
rusedorange they are clipped tight enough to not slide unless pulled by very large Halibut or salmon shark
Wow, a good haul I'd say considering the price per pound of these tasty fish.
Charles Fleury II probably 10-20% which is good considering generally 50% goes right back to the boat
Thanks so much Len ! Share video
I like that line hauler valve handle modification...
that would be long lining yes. a float bag on one end, then an anchor, then X amount of hooks...then another anchor i believe.
Teaching the kids awesome !
god thats hard work
all my kids want to do is watch youtube
respect guys (libby!)
hello I am confused .. why the clip does not slid down the line forever .. do you have a knot in so slid will be limited
Great to do it with the family, good work.
Fish is my favourite food, how I would have loved to have met that crew at the dockside, and bought one of those of fish. I would have rushed home, sliced it up, cooked a large portion...along with generously cut British style chips and fast frozen the rest.
the limit on the Halibut 2 per person this family should get fine and jail time
That was a big ole' fish!!
Hi Len could you send me details of your equipment setup, gear and arrangement?
Can you be more specific? A rather broad question.
@@lfabich What size hooks do u use and the rope diameter and how many hooks do u use on a 5 mile long line
Cool video, I wonder how much they can make doing this? That would be cool to know.
Such a nice family
down to about 5000 now. Used to fish 12,000

Strong men with the big fish
For real? Where are you located. Financing a bigger boat. Even to relocate it would be expensive.
how big is your boat...and how rough of water do you take it in? 25 to 30 knots seems like about the max....
No stoppers between the hooks? They don't get tangled?
Pretty small rig..im thinking u just do it for the "hellabit". Tnks for posting.
Said in a jonny cash drawl ,,,,,,,,,,,I met my love afloat on a halibut boat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, great to see ladies getting stuck into the work .
what sort of price are you getting for them?
Çok güzel bir av olmuş küçük balıkları salmanızda ayrıca bir teşekkürü hak ediyor
Nice job Len, in ALL aspects! BTW this is Fred, not Les. Les is taking a vacation from RUclips, FaceBook and various other forms of internet interaction :) I'm just cruising his account now :)
Thats awesome
loved it
Do you set in the deep holes? Or over the shoals?
What is the headset that you guys are wearing? Thanks!
How much you get per pound?
What type of clips do you use to stop the hook lines stay in place and not slide down the main line?
They are a Stainless steel Clip that closes on the line pretty tight. A big fish can move them to some degree but the line is not super tight so it is pretty hard to move them.
Amazing
luar biasa,nelayan maju dengan peralatanx
boat and motor both champ
great fun for the kids. ..
So what do you do with the guts ?
I watched this video just for the halibut.
nice halibut guys/gals
God family work. Relay nice !!
Mucho lo bueno pero donde se pesca Asi
*МОЛОДЦЫ*

Yes
Please where this name the place
