Halibut Fishing

After a two and a half hour trip we dropped anchor at the spot in 200 feet of water. The action was continuous. If we weren't catching a dogfish (trashfish) or rebaiting our hooks after a strike, we were catching some halibut. I was hoping to land what they call "a barn door" because these fish can go 400 pounds or more, but settled for these two. This was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. We all brought back the limit of two and most of us threw some back also. The crew filleted them on the way back and we ended up with 40 pounds of fillets between the 4 of us. We had them vacum sealed back at the dock and they are now sitting in our freezer.
