We maxed out for SE. 5 between 42 and 45 inches and one at 74 1/2 inches.

This was my first trip to Gustavus. The halibut fishing was impressive. In 4 days we cut off 9 between 70 and 120 lbs.

Another first halibut for a great friend of mine... We actually joined the Army on the same day back in 1997...

Yeah I made sure my old buddy is hooked on halibut fishing for life!

Caught this one off off Knight Island couple week ago 275 lbs 80 inches long. took 1 1/2 hours to land and one hell of job to dead lift into the boat.

A pretty good size chunk of pink salmon that we found floating dead on the surface and when that Halibut bit there was no mistaking whether a fish was on or not, The line just started running out. The fight was on and an hour and a half later we were able to see the fish.

I would post some pic's from this season but I still don't have the privilege yet. As soon as we get clearance I'll start posting some good pic's from PWS. We had a stellar season with a couple of barn doors but mostly targeting turkey's, lungs, and rockfish.

The picture was outside the straight at Montague Island and on that day, we landed 6 fish from 165-105 lbs. The following day we landed a few more over 100lbs too. :) I considered that weekend our best of the year since we had the holding tank full of ling cod and the halibut fillets alone filled a 180 and two 120 qt coolers. Not to mention the yellow eye, black bass, and rock fish. :) Yes, my friends think I'm a god. lol
