    I grew up on Kodiak in 67 when my dad opened the airport up for Western Airlines,at 5,western pulled out 1 year later and dad was airplane mech and pilot and we always had a plane or 2,then 70-75 parents were houseparents at kodiak baptist mission,moved away but after sitka,ketchikan juneau we moved back.I fished everything including bering sea for king crab. 2 tours USCG in Kodiak also .

      Alaska in the 60's must have been a whole different world than it is now. Just like Cocoa Beach was different when I moved here in 1966 - just a different world.....

    OMG!! Ya'll woke me up for sure this morning. I'm just sitting here , sun's coming up, enjoying a cup of coffee before my busy day starts, Enjoying the beautiful Alaskan scenery and my favorite fishermen do doing an awesome job. Slowly waking up while watching over the side listening to the Mohammed Ali of Halibut slap you guys around up there somewhere behind the camera..lol..then the bit where you catch the tangled twins and I thought, Hey that's cool. Not the tangle but the 2 at a time :) ... Then comes the big Mama, well thank goodness for that beautiful rail you made is all I can say!!! When that big fish got the idea to back up and take Matt with it...well yep I'm wide awake now!!! So glad the only thing that went back over was your gaff! Great Job Guys!! Say hi to Anita and Tristen for me. Hope you are all doing well❤
    P.S. I think Matt might have been the world champion Rodeo Clown Bull fighter in another life! Lol great balance and quick acrobatics!!

    My uncle fished along the geeese's and man he told me the current is strong as heck, but did catch some halibut by surprised, but i tell you not when you're tryna beat the tide its like a race literally because you can see the incoming tide going against the out going and its kinda fun seeing it in action.

    • @EISAlaska

    At 140 odd pounds AND angry, it's no wonder they're a handful to get over the rail sometimes.

The shots are so clear and good it feels like we are on the boat with you, even on the boom for a bit. That was great. Keep safe, watch the biz, and good fishing to you.

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Год назад +1

      Your sacrifice was not in vain! Offloading isn't bad, its fairly similar as we'd set fish on deck and another person would throw it into the brailer. There are some ideas we're bouncing around to make things a little smoother, but they won't happen this season.

  • @edmundhenderson6559
    @edmundhenderson6559 Год назад +2

    Probably just the sportfisherman in me, but I wouldn't be able to resist putting out a few big hooks with a pound of bait on them.

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Год назад

      Just as long as you have nice fresh bait. We've found that past a certain point bigger bait doesn't do much but use more bait, and rack up the bait bill. If the fish are there they'll bite the nice fresh stuff before other critters get on it.

    shawn i use those same clips in oyster farming. do the fish move or slide those clips along the line?

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Год назад +1

      Sometimes, not all of our line matches in thickness so they'll slide a bit on the 5/16 (most of our line is 11/32). Or if the snap has been mangled and repaired, sometimes big ones will move it a bit, not too far though.
