    We just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to everyone who supports our channel and our business. It is cool to think, that as folks are watching us fish , the same halibut in this video are on FedEx delivery trucks and headed to families across the US, just days after being harvested. It is because of you, our customers, viewers and Patreons that we can continue pursuing our dreams and doing what we love. We are humbled by your generosity and support. Thank you and best wishes to All!

    Looks like a fair start of your fall halibut season. A few problems with catching bait and now the reel. Hopefully after this weather passes the catch picks up and the equipment behaves.

    I fished halibut in the old days before quotas. We used tubs (fishermen know what that is) and it was crazy and dangerous. I'd like to go out just to watch a boat using snap gear. Since we were pressed for time we were not so gentle with bycatch and I've always felt bad about that.

    I do a lot of fishing in New England for fun for cod, haddock, pollock, etc. When you use the straight eye circle hooks, do you find you get better hookups going through the front of the hook vs through the back when you attach it to the line?

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Před 2 lety

      Not sure about hookups, but for baiting its much easier when the loop is through the front.

    @B-kl8vj Před 2 lety +2

    Nice work as usual. Do you get a lower price for the giant halibut? I assume that fillets are so thick and may be tougher?

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Před 2 lety +3

      Price splits are common when delivering to fish buyers and processing plants. The halibut are graded by weight (in pounds) and are 10-20, 20-40, 40-60 and 60-Up. Surprisingly the larger fish fetch the premium price. They keep well frozen and have a better recovery, especially when they are steaked. The difference between small and large fish can be upwards of 50-60 cents a pound. As we direct market our own fish the price split does not affect us and we tend to target fish in the 20 pound range which nets good recovery rates and nice fillets. You are correct when it comes to quality. The giants tend to be dry and have grainier flesh.

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi redfish fun. That is named the Pillar Mountain Landslide. Google it and it pulls up some interesting information. It is actually an ancient landslide that has seen some movement in the last 50 years, particularly in the early 70's when renewed movement was noted as the toe of the slope was removed for fill for the new city dock. It became of concern to the surrounding city and harbor and a preliminary study was conducted to asses the potential hazard. If one looks carefully you can see the original highway on each side of the slide (about 140 feet up the slide). There is a lot of info in this Pub from the USGS. pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr78217

    • @EISAlaska
      @EISAlaska  Před 2 lety +1

      This is a really good report prepared in 2013 for the City. It has some really good background info and also very good figures and photos of the slope. The gabion wall in those photos was replaced 5 or 6 years ago. www.city.kodiak.ak.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/engineer/page/313/final_report_pillar_mtn_1300823.pdf
