    Watching from Ontario Canada, Halibut was one of our Dads favorite fish to eat. Watching all the work that goes into catching them was something I personally did not know. Here we always just catch fresh water fish, trout, walleye, bass etc fishing pole and reel. Love your videos. Wish our Dad was still here to watch with me. He would've loved being "on the water" with you.

    My Granfather fished Atlantic Halibut off Newfoundland Coast, in the early 20th century. They longlined from dories , and there were still some very large fish caught. He said it could be quite the battle getting them on board, and good and sporty having a hundreds of pounds Halibut flopping around in a small boat.
    I really enjoyed the stories, and I think It’s beneficial that you’re sharing your work with viewers. People really are interested in how it’s done. I think it helps letting people see how sustainable long line fishing can be when it’s done responsibly and records are kept, and the fishery is managed. I hope this fishery goes on for hundreds of years.

    I wanted to ask this years ago . If you collect that "guts" and blood from when you cleaning the fish and have your baits soaked in it , will it make more "attractable" ?
    also if you pour it over the area you have drop you line in the sea too . Maybe it will attract other type of fish ? or it simply doesn't do anything at all ?

    For those who think they are gutting live fish, they are dead. After death, motor neurons maintain some potential and still ‘fire’, it’s a difference in ion charge, which then starts a domino effect down neural pathways causing the flapping.

It’s unfortunate just not possible anymore. so I guess I’ll just leave the last few years out of my life and hopefully you guys will be around to help me get through it taken care of yourselves.👋😉🙏 and always remember to keep the wind at your back..

    @THEDUTCHT0UCH 4 месяца назад +1

    Noticed when you were baiting the line that you leave the hook tip/barb inside the bait instead of pushing it all the way through- I was always told to have the tip of the hook exposed, as if you don't you may not get a good hook set, but you guys obviously catch a bunch of fish so is what I have been told/doing wrong with halibut/you want then to eat a bit without feeling the hook or something?

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  4 месяца назад +2

      Good question and great observation. For stuff like herring and pollock which are softer we usually bury the hook in the piece, holds on for longer. Stuff like cod, octo, salmon we put the hook through since the skin holds it on the hook. Can’t be sure what goes on below the surface, but we figure the herring or pollock is so soft the halibut just push the barb right in, setting the hook.
      I think when halibut come back the hook which are bare are the ones that had herring, since it falls off easy. Cod skin, salmon, and octo will hold even after a good thrashing.
      We get lots of halibut that come back on bare hooks, so best I can figure that the herring is doing the trick, barb exposed or not.
