I lived in Nome Alaska for 10 years as a Pilot...then I went on to fly cargo jumbo jets worldwide. Retired in Florida now. I had a great job and a great life...and I saw the world...even flown around our world. Retired in Florida.
What's that got to do with long lining?
And flew covid 19 into every country around the world .
Awesome footage that is.. a real look at what happens way out there.. thank you for sharing this!
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.....
Sounds like that one fish did not want to get in the boat... how rude! 😂🤣😂👍👍🎣🎣
Awesome..thanks for sharing
Great Job. Looked like a lot of Measured Fish but a few real good ones makes it worth the pick and effort.
Glad you guys are on here. Family Is the Best Business in the World.
Tight Lines and Following Seas on your next trips
Keep going guys that awesome
Good job Guys. You are hard working man. Greatings from Europe - Poland.

I watch your videos EVERYDAY.... Just love them
My dad died this year. Seeing this father and son team and how they enjoy each others company is really awesome. My dad and I were not close so this makes me appreciate these guys.
that was great!
Wow, congratulations, some of those are huge.
Another great video Thanks
Long haul for some nice fish. Way to go guys!!!
So far so good. 👍
Bang on! All the best, from Cornwall UK.
Loved this one!!
Love watching you guy hauling in fish never seen it done before tganks
That's funny: " he's angry"; maybe that's because he can't breathe. lmao
Nice haul, fellas! Looked like a gorgeous day out on the water.
Great..
Hey guys you have a beautiful job , I love it.
God bless you .
Thanks for share nice video ❤️
You guys did a great job catching them 😊😊😅😅
Nice 65 incher!👍👍🎣🎣👊👊
I was waiting for a fish to slide back into the water!
It sure almost did!
Good save. I thought he was going over for a second.
nice job guys
nice save guys!!
Some good fishing
Yes it was!
Love the scenery. Can feel the spray on my face. Makes me think I'd want to hurry back home to supper after a day well-spent.
Can never beat a nice bowl of home made chowder after a day out on the water. !
I used to long line grouper in the Gulf of Mexico, seeing this makes me want to go back.
Great video and nice haul.
That it was! Some good fishing that set.
Greetings Guys and awesome fishing.
Thanks for coming!
Thanks, never knew exactly how long line fishing done.
Que bela pescaria , eu moro no brasil , curti muito VOCÊS✌🏾👁🗨
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!!
Haha! Thanks, Debbie! Yea that one was a bucker for sure!
Is Zeus you're personal God belief
you and Matt work so good together you've taught him well
Thanks, Keith! I was blessed with good folks to learn from!
Good luck and tight lines
Cheers!
You didn’t loose your Gaff, you know exactly where it is. The gaff is just hard to get too .
That's true!
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.
We did a set down near the channel north of the straights...that was a lot of current there! Not much fun fighting it like that, we'll be more careful lol.
Hi 👋 good fishing 🎣 😊🌆🗽🗽🥇🥈🥉☝️🏅
And a comment for the algorithm as well. I'll even give it a share.
We appreciate that, cheers!
Gonna have 2 rethink that set up, no room!
It's not bad. Seems more constricted than it really is. Everything else is a lot better workflow. With a few improvements to be made still.
Thank you, Boss Qu, for sharing your experience on how to throw rawe fishing rods.
Very amazing work, success always for the sea warriors...
Fun video to watch. I can't figure out how you attach hooks to the long line without them sliding all together?
👍
Man you guys aren't gonna know what to do with yourselves on the Isle with all it's deck space. Anxious to see that fished as I'm sure you guys are as well!
True. I suppose we'll fill it up somehow, but certainly a lot more deck!
nice catch
Super
They were coming fast a furious on day 2.
That they were, had some good sets.
Man o Man that last set was a good one. I could not wipe the smile off my face. Way to go. My wife Kim and I love watching your show when we are not fishing, we have watched a few of your shows on the boat. Thank you for a great show and a chance for all of us to be part of the crew. 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.
Thanks a bunch, Dan! We feel like we definitely earned that good set. It had been a grind up until then!
I'm here, permission to follow my boss's activities... always keep the spirit of success
I would love to have just one of the halibut that would feet the three of us three or four meals
I love fish.
Halibut is a good fish and has a good taste when broiled with lemon, and butter until done.😊
My wife is still a little disappointed that you guys don't throw a hook to retrieve your floats! lol. You can probably guess which show she watches.....
Damn near cried when the gaff went overboard. Bloody nice fish though.
At 140 odd pounds AND angry, it's no wonder they're a handful to get over the rail sometimes.
I wonder how old the largest Halibut was? Great vid lads (and Mom).
Hi guys I love fishing
You do awesome job
I wish some day go to Alaska fishing like you
Have wonderful day
Be save always
God bless you 😊😊
Hello my name is Tim crews and I live in Lakeland Florida, I love fishing and I love watching your videos, what kind of fish were you throwing back?
Halibut nice little catch well done..
My boy son dose long lining in Antarctica for Tooth fish quite ahugh weight and l believe Halibut get just as Hugh also.. Great video dudes dosn't matter what your catching well l guess it dose but hey small boats or large ships ALL fisherman do the hard yards of bloody hard work..
Well done.. 😊
Thanks again guys!
Our pleasure! Thanks Douglass!
I’d love to see a camera angle that shows how you set up and connect the hooks
Goodbye gaff, Thank you for your service!! Gentlemen, have you formed an opinion of the new setup during offloading (working around the reel placement)? As always, Thank you for sharing with us, what a great office space you have!
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.
Nice, well done on getting some biggens .
Thanks!
Love that save! Jump on that fish! 😂🤣😂🤣👍👍
Wrangled that sucker! We got you on board, you ain't going nowhere! Haha!
@@EISAlaska 👍👍
How was it, hauling from the side, compering from old days from the back? Really like your videos, keep up the good work. Fan from Norway
It’s great. Some improvements to be made still, but overall a much easier working experience.
Just wondering hoe much quata for halibut? Is it boat lenght that define Your quata?
I Fish halibut in Norway, but we don`t have quata for halibut only for cod.
Good deal
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.
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.
Hard working happy men.
............EXCELLENT...................
Im giving a wild guess i didn't see it to well 72
Nice haul guys some monsters in that string.👌👌🥳🥳🦈🦈83 inches?
Oh yeah! Some nice fish for sure!
69 . is my guess...Awesome catch
oh yeah two at once got you some twins🤑🤑🤑
Are these fish like our flounder with eyes, etc. are on one side????
What is the biggest one you guys ever caught doing that???Y’all do a great job good team work!!!
Pretty sure our biggest was 70 inch, around 180 lbs.
@@EISAlaska that’s awesome fish that big thanks for the answer to my question and I appreciate watching y’all very much great team work hard and stay safe friend !!!!!!!
Hi... Is there anyway to purchase any of your By Catch?
You show Giant Sculpin that I would love to have some of...
Down here in SoCal we need likena dozen Sculpin to make a meal...
Back to the old set up?
Nope! Here to stay. But a few improvements to make still.
Nice string. do you mark the location and date of your best strings so you can set there later?
We reference our logbook often, yes. Sometimes we'll revisit areas several years later.
shawn i use those same clips in oyster farming. do the fish move or slide those clips along the line?
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.
thanks for the awnser sir.@@EISAlaska
I say the same as dansmith937 3 weeks ago.Im curious what are u allowed to catch of Halibut per season in kg?As a old fisherman pls.bear in mind the wheather can be very rough.Iceland thanks.
65 incher is worth a lost gaff!!
We've noticed that SS gaffs LOVE the water. We lose them far more often than regular steel, haha!
53 for the smaller of the 2 and 65 for the bigger of the 120 dressed and 100 for the smaller dressed
So watch your stuff alot...
Would using the gills and/or innards for bait be worth while?
I know for other stuff the Bloodier the better?
Nah, the only thing that would stay on the hook would be the stomach, and honestly, its kinda gross cutting into them seeing half digested fish.
What’s the brand name of that steering throttle control you’re using.
Its a Simrad follow-up throttle.
can't help but notice how small the fish are what they are keeping .fished in Norway in 2020.and the keep size .was 1.2 mtr..1200 mm
Minimum size by regulation is 32”. It is illegal to high grade.
assalamualaikum warga alaska semua nya alhamdulillah allah telah menpertemukankita walaupun melalui media atau mexsos kita semua bersaudara marilah kita ucapkan sebanyah banyak nya LAA ILAAHAIL LALLAH MUHAMMADDARASULULLAH
What does halibut taste like??? I've never tried one. I live in Florida.
Are halibut migratory?
They do move around, come shallow in the summer and deeper in the winter.
good grade of fish.
i was gonna guess 160 lbs
I’m gonna say that’s a 58 inch for sure
Do you guys notice if you had any change in the amount of fish caught hauling from the side
55"
Buenas noches como va todo
31:41 Godzilla!
Thats about 6000k of Hali
P.S,im 60 and last name NORTH lol,for anybody that grew up with me like,kenny Peterson or scott floyd,Jimmy Dawson etc,lots of good folks grew up there and was like old western town.
I'm guessing 59" and this is my guess before I resume the rest of the vid.
Yo!
I thought 68 Cm for that big guy.
The fighting halibut scene left a lot to the imagination......
