    Captain Zac and The Halibut Queen
    Awesome Day… The Queen always prevails..
    Coming to you from the bank of the Nushagak River.
    The Kings are trickling in along with the Sockeye and Chum. Hopefully the wad of fish will get here soon.
    One week to go..

      Haha I actually thought about keeping the rock to commemorate such a world-class catch however I decided to release it since there was some living matter on the rock and wanted to give it the best chance to surviving. Thanks and tight lines! Captain Zac

    Captain Rock, the Queen out-fished you again. You might need to rest the rod and pick up the camera full time. You two are great for sure. I do enjoy watching you guys fish. Looking forward to you catching a barn door. Tight lines you two until next video.

      Haha "Captain Rock" ... OUCH!!! As usual, the Halibut Queen out-fished everyone in the boat! Good suggestion, perhaps my efforts are better spent filming her catching halibut instead of trying unsuccessfully to land them myself! haha Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

    Hey zak glad to see you and Mary are keeping your hooks wet. My wife and daughter just returned from Alaska and they said it is sooo petty. But they didn't bring me any hallies as you call them
    I have never eaten any halibut but the meat looks like it would be good.. well hope y'all catch a bunch I will try to keep giving the thumbs up I really enjoy you and Mary's vlogs.

    @clamsoup 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    What you did was probably better for the environment, but I think I would have brought that rock home and found a place for it. Was it granite, was there quartz in it? You caught a specimen that could have contained rare earth minerals in it and you "let it go!"
    I was waiting for a fish to steal your pole when you laid it on the deck. I've seen that before.
    Critique aside, it's always fun to watch the show.

    • @CaptainZac
      @CaptainZac  8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Haha hey Alan thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed this one! I almost kept it but there was a living piece of reef or coral that I thought should return to the sea floor. Yes indeed - I saw that I was getting a bite and didn't have my rod holder setup. So the next best move was to loosen the drag and sit the rod down mostly in the boat. Luckily, disaster avoided!

Just another how to video........maybe.....Mike

    Quick question, if I understand, you often drift while jigging? Back drift? Can you explain?

  • @the_ling_council
    @the_ling_council 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Thanks for all the great videos! Curious why you back troll instead of just normal trolling? thanks!

    • @CaptainZac
      @CaptainZac  8 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thanks @the_ling_council - since halibut are a bottom fish it is more effective to target them with back trolling which allows you to bounce the jigs off the bottom (triggering a strike) and keep the jig in the strike zone longer. We do catch halibut while trolling for salmon sometimes but that would be an atypical way to target halibut. Tight lines! Captain Zac
