      @@BOUTDOORSALASKA I did come visit Alaska in 2017, even paid to go on charter boat to do some fishing, but the 2 ladies I met up with changed their minds about everything that we had planned & paid in advance to do. As a widow, I can't afford to travel alone, so the other 2 women that also wanted to go to Alaska suggested we share motels & rental car & divide the expenses 3 ways. Unfortunately, out of the 17 days there, the only thing I did get to do was the Denali train ride, they didn't care to go anywhere or do anything. We did go & spend 1 night in Seward (where we were supposed to board a charter boat & go fishing, but the one planning everything had canceled after I had already paid my share). The rest of the time was spent sitting in a cabin in Homer. I am still trying & hoping to go back to Alaska alone or hopefully one of my granddaughters will go too. Most of my granddaughters fish, hunt, & can process whatever they get. None of us can afford the trip, but it doesn't mean any of us have given up, still saving & still trying. Who knows, maybe someday I'll see you all catching more Halibut on the beach of Seward. LOL! P.S. I live in the desert, born and raised here, so you can bet your booties I would love to live in Alaska.

    My dad just came home from Seward. When I was in SoCal I taught myself how to catch Halibut from the beach, after years of seeing them shallow while fishing Barred Perch and Corbina. I am giving myself credit for popularizing a certain spoon that was from the Midwest {home} after most people used the $25 jerkbaits....then after talking bout it on a forum I seen everyone using it LOL. But people are so full of themselves there they never admitted it. Timing was key! Tide flow and smelt runs! They werent the giant Alaska halibut, but a 25-30" halibut is still a good meal for 1 and I caught them barefoot year round.

    If you want a bit of advice about how to not get tired so quick fighting fish? Where your hand is holding the rod on the reel seat is bad for your wrist and makes it a lot harder to reel slide your right arm up to the top of the grip on the rod. Another thing is if you like me are right handed switch the reel handle over to the other side. The reason people use left hand is for casting spoons and stuff so you can reel right away with halibut that's not an issue hope you find useful.

    150 years ago, an AVERAGE halibut was AT LEAST twice to three times that size or MORE. . . The AVERAGE. . Not the BIG ones!

      Generally right hand people use left hand retrieve on spinning reels and right hand retrieve on bait casters. Left hand retrieve fells natural on underslung spinning reels.

      I grew up like @stearnsbingham552 mentioned I honestly never questioned it most of our fishing is on spinning rod so I’m use to it. We have several trips we are working on videos for and we use other hand on those due to different real and to make things worse one is opposite of others. They will post this week 1 more Sitka and 2 Seward DIY trips

    You never keep any halibut over 70 lbs. It hurts the fishery. And the big ones are always full of worms. We never ate anything over 70.

      @@BOUTDOORSALASKA yes nice big filets. Couple big roast. I lived in Alaska many years. You are definitely on my stomping grounds. I miss it a lot. Commercial fished the 80s and early 90s. I've lived all over this country. Hard to find anywhere better or more beautiful. Short big butt story. Nicholson inlet, southwest of Ketchikan myself and a deckhand hooked a halibut big one, hopped in the Boston whaler to battle. Fought this fucking monster about 45 minutes. The it hit the surface, worn out just looking right at us. This thing was wider than Boston whaler minimum 8ft long. Thick as hell. We could see the circle hook was almost straightened out. No gun. Lyle Stack tells me gaff him. I'm like not a fucking chance. I've caught literally thousands of halibut long lining and just fishing. Got a few 300 to 400 lbs. They would have been this monsters great great grand babies. He or she dwarfed anything I had seen before or since. Once he got his second breath he just left. Big ass circle hook straightened completely just fell out his mouth. I was actually glad. It kind of scared me a bit. In the water with a fucking monster. I'm certain it could have easily flipped our Boston whaler. Shit my adrenaline is pumping right now remembering it. Enjoy life my friend.

      There are some 600 feet out it gets rough especially when they run at you I would rather they fight the whole way it’s easier. You see catches edited down short some are a long way out others are only 60 feet but I can appreciate your comment due to not knowing the length of the catch. We went to Sitka this last weekend and catching salmon and Halibut over 300 feet down over and over all day will tire you out . Video coming soon!
