73". Guy's, Thank you for a great season of fishing and sharing it with us!! 👏👏👏👏 What a set to finish off the season. Hope you guys stay safe and warm in the off season. I can't wait to see the new boat up and running.
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for joining us Bob!
Great to see a season come to a successful close with the final fish safely stowed below deck. Once the offload concludes, just imagine all the free time now available to spend in the recently heated work space on your new vessel. Stay Safe out there and Be Warm in your new work project! -Bob...
Haha yep, good to have a comfortable space to work, that's for sure! Appreciate you watching and commenting, Bob!

Matt, you clean those fish with the precision of a surgeon, nice job.

@@EISAlaska I never have been a fan of being on water, 27yrs of class 1 drivers license, and in oil patch since 99, up to 5 yrs ago. Semi retired, and doing interior finishing work on Vancouver Island, but since watching you all do your thing, it really makes me want to do exactly what you're doing. Wish you all great success, fun, and adventure. Can't wait to see the new vessel in action. What a long ride home in it hey?
Yay! A fishing video!! I'm just getting to it because things have been crazy here with football!!
Well done my friend, I'm a follower from Iraq. I wish you a beautiful day🥶

Hello guys I like to watch your video catching fish 🐟 May God Bless You and Your Family's ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ From SINGAPORE 🇸🇬
Great 👍
Cool treasures from the ocean find guys!! Poor little urchin lol
That couldn't have felt good coming back out, lol.
It's time to make some money. Let's go...
Missed it live, think I needed to make the bell black, so maybe next time I might catch it live.
Yep. It should be black to get notifications. Thanks Paul!
Great season of fishing long line, truly enjoyed this first season . Can’t wait to see the new boat finished. Didn’t realize how much work it takes your family to make living. Good job to your family. Cali subscriber.
A couple years ago a seagull swooped down and stole a girl's donut right out of her hand as she was walking out of the shop. My grandfather used to tie a piece of bread on a fishing pole, and toss it out to the gulls, then battle them out of the sky lol.
61" x 90lbs. looks good. Watched em all.
Nice to finish on a high guys....With all the hard work you put in, you certainly deserve it.
BTW.. Matty is a machine.
That’s a big one
80" and 60lbs??🤣😂🤣😂 Yep figured I was off on the pounds and length lol very nice set guys!!
Looks like you guys had a successful season, good to see. I see cheeks, i'll wait for the fillets. Fingers crossed on the Yelloe eye, and crab possibly later:)...Congrats you guys😎
Wahooooo! That was a BIG fish! I can imagine you felt that a bit after getting it up and on board ! I hope it wasn't too feisty ..I guessed one inch more than it was :) perhaps watching you guys measuring fish in previous videos is teaching me estimation skills!! Lol. Watching Matt getting down there with that whopper to clean it was impressive and highly entertaining ! Great Job Guys!!
Thanks Debbie. That was a whopper.
Very Niçe
My guess was 64" Until you measured the first fish! Nice day guys!
Good eye, you weren't far off!
Remember when we were at Epcot eating fish and chips and a seagull tried to take my son's fish he grabbed the gull and it dropped the fish lol.. It was too funny wish I had it on video!!
Lol, those seagulls are little hooligans sometimes! They like to land on our bait table while we're not looking and gobble up what's laying out.
@@EISAlaska yep got to watch them close!!
That was a great season to watch. Congrats all around. So what's next? Lobster? Crabs? Narwhals?............. It's always great to sit and watch you guys when the work day is over.
Thanks Jimmy. There is some lag time between videos and we actually just finished up our Tanner crab season. Next is rockfish!
Will we be seeing Tanner crab vids soon?
@@barbarabeagley6650 Yes. It will be coming soon!
Where is Triston???? Miss his humor.. and Mom also. Great Video!!!!!
Is it possible to give any information about Tristen, hasn't seen him for a while.. It has been always so enjoyable to see him as deckhand, doing what asked, and being arond, shooting sometimes his comments. He is my favorite, young padawan beside two masters, Matt and Len.
With the big one “You will need a bigger boat”
Congratulations on a good season! All the best from down under, stay safe! What is the next fisheries coming up from you? Best regards, Annie PS. You should find and EIS Alaska theme tune that you are coming back to all the time, e.g. see/listen to Matt's Offroad recovery that we are watching too.
👍👍👍
Awesome job guys.
I was thinking. You could sell EIS souvenir hooks when it’s time to swap them out that might be neat
Good idea
That would be cool! We'll keep that in mind.
67 in darn I was close
Very close!
You guys should have a plastic cutting board on your cleaning table so you're not constantly dulling your knives.

Creatures from the outer space of the sea
😎💯❤👍✌
Glad to see you've had a good season. I have a question that may sound dumb to those who are fisherman (not many halibut here on the sub-arctic inland). If you're out overnight, or for a couple of days, do you ever filet a smaller "eater" size halibut for your supper? And if so, is that included in your catch quota total? I'm sure that by the end of the season, you're getting a bit fed up with gutting and cleaning fish. But earlier in the season? I recall on one offload the fish processor gave you back all the halibut heads, so you were able to get the cheek meat from those (you commented that was good eating).
I don't watch fishing videos all the time, but I notice that the halibut fishery size rules and quotas for both commercial and sport/charter fishing vary depending on area and season. (There are quite different (and odd) catch-size rules for halibut in the Inside Passage/Vancouver Island, for example). I understand that ocean and fisheries regulators try to coordinate maintaining sustainable fisheries, but it's confusing to a non-fisherman.
My last ocean fishing was 55 years ago, going out with my uncle Angus on his Cape Islander, near North Bay, Nova Scotia. He's 95 or 96 now, still a commercial fisherman & claims he's "just a youth" LOL). Anyhow, glad you've finished off in good shape. Next year will be interesting, with the new boat and all.
Hi Jim. Any halibut we retain while commercial fish would come off our quota. I'm not sure if you could have one for dinner legally. We often cook cod or rockfish while out fishing, but the reporting requirement as less strict when it comes to those species.
As far as regs, our don't change much. Our minimum size limit is 32", anything over that is legal and can be retained. Highgrading fish is prohibited and the season dates change slightly year to year, but usually start the first week or so of march and end in early November.
I know the sport/ charter regs change more due to yearly effort and catch. They have to work within their own quota so the make adjustments to keep them from overharvesting.
You uncle must be one salty dog! Still fishing at 96. Amazing. Bet he can tell a tale or two. Thanks Jim and best wishes to you and your loved ones.
@@EISAlaska Thanks for that info. I thought it likely that regulations would come into it, but you never know. And yes, Angus really is a salty dog. He doesn't go out alone - there are grandsons and great-grandsons who help out as available. He might retire one of these days - maybe on his 100th birthday, lol. Best regards.
nice to see you guys out fishing again , there is another boat you are repairing or it is this one?
No they got another boat there redoing
Yep, as Todd said. We bought a larger vessel last summer and are refitting her. Emerald Isle is her name.
@@EISAlaska Will be nice to see it in action soon , and yes i noticed it was different but wasn't sure , hope the seas are calm and generous for both vessels ofc :)
Have you ever targeted the spiny dogfish shark? Thank you for your video.
What do you bait the hooks for Halibut?
70” figured your stick went to 72”
Congrats guys on another successful season!!!
Is their a prohibition that after you have boated your commercial fishing season quota that you can't keep a few Halibut for your personal consumption (as a recreational fisherman) or is your longline set not considered to be a "recreational" fishing method?
Hi John. They have a subsistence fishery for Alaska residents. You can set out 60 hooks per person and no limit on the size or amount of halibut you can keep. You could even do a subsistence trip in between commercial trips, just not concurrently.
@@EISAlaska Thx for the lightening fast reply, and so happy to learn of the regulations re: Alaska resident subsistance fishing. I would definitely keep my freezers full!!!
Thank you for what has become my favorite TH-cam channel. I really enjoy the episodes re: the repair of the new fishing boat. You guys have mad repair and construction skills/ a vast knowledge base. I am constantly amazed at how much you all can do...and do so well!
I very much look forward to many new future fishing and boat remodeling videos. Many thx.
@@johnbush2798 Absolutely! We really appreciate your words of support. Thanks bunch, John.
My guess for length is 67".
🤝👍👍👍🤝
74 inches and weighing131 lbs.
Hello I'm from Brazil, the taborril for you has no commercial value ? Here in Brazil has an excellent acceptance in the market. They could export here.
when are you going after rockfish......my favorite of your fish. Is yellow eye season closed?
Hi Kenny. Rockfish are next. The Fish Tale is ready to roll. We just need a little weather window. We can retain yelloweye again, up to 15% of our target species.
@@EISAlaska when I order my rock fish can I get some yellow eye to try?
You bet Kenny. You can pre-order share boxes now, or if ordering by the pound we should have it available in the next couple weeks. Drop a note in the order comments to remind me. Thanks!
I just sent an order with a couple changes from last year, thanks
76 @ 135lbs is my guess.
68"
Door matts
67 inches on the big one
Close guess!
1.25 mtrs and 150lbs
My dad was in the Navy and he said that they called seagulls sea rats IDK if it's true just wondering if you had a nickname for them
Yes they are called sea rats. They will eat damn near anything.
115 lbs 67”
Progress not perfection
What was the biggest Halibut you ever caught?
This is one of the largest we have caught on the Fish Tale. When I first started fishing and crewed on a 75' longline vessel we would fish out in the Aleutians and get halibut that topped 400 pounds.
72”
82''
Bit high, that would be what you call a "barn door".
81 inches
75"
