    My river bottom bouncing, was always catch and release, because I knew they'd bite again.

In western NY they charge $36-$38 lb. Cod is anywhere from $10.99 - $13.99 lb or where I shop it's $9.99 if you buy 2 lbs or more at a time. Great videos. especially upgrading the new boat.

      That was an undersized halibut. What he meant is that we have to measure every fish that comes over the rail, any measuring at least 32" are a legal sized halibut. "High grading" is when you release smaller fish in favor of keeping larger fish, which you get a higher price for at the canneries. Doing so is illegal, and can levy some serious fines.

    How often do you get bitten off or find straightened hooks?

      Not often, only had 1 or 2 that could have been from halibut getting off. We don't target the huge barn doors.

    Why does the long line not have some kind of roller where it comes across the railing? Just curious.

      @John Prince Hi John. If you look closely around the 0:39 mark you will see the roller just inside the upright line guide. It has a UHMW insert in the roller tube and is held in place by a 3/4" bolt with a turned shaft on the end. It turns very smooth and is maintenance free.

    You had some big fish there, how long do the Halibut take to grow to say 100 pounds?

      I'm not really sure about that, Dylan. I would think 5 years or so for a legal sized halibut, but that's just a guess.

    I don't believe I ever asked yall but what's the biggest halibut yall can remember catching?

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Год назад

      Nothing really huge, but maybe 70” or so.

    I know it's one more thing to do, but you can totally eat halibut livers.

      Sure. All of our fish go to our own market though, and we don't have anyone who has voiced interest in the offal products. On the scale we are its just not feasible.
