Here Comes a Big One! - Alaska Halibut Longlining 

Nice to see Family working together without all that garbage drama you see on those shows, like deadliest catch ,, sick of the sensless junk Keep up the awsome show you guys.

The sacrificed work of fishing !! Good luck and to take care of the sea and the resources it gives us !! Greetings to the crew from Chile!!

It's a pleasure to see hard working families work together and good at what they do enjoy watching

Love how Mat just bulldogs those big octopuses. Most dudes would pee their pants.

I love fishing and love watching others catching fish!!

I fished the Sound about 10years age, best halibut fishing I have ever seen.

God bless you guys.Stay warm an dry .be safe.

Fascinating. It's good that your following the rules.

Wow, back again after 2 years for a re-viewing. It's a pleasure to watch all of you getting the job done, good days or stinkers. I've watched enough of your videos that I have some idea how hard you work, and what a wide range of talents you have besides fishing. Developing the skills, and the specialized tools to fabricate your own gear, fitted up as you want it and with the huge plus of knowing your finished fabrications are safe, effective and reliable! The special tools come slowly, a piece at a time (& when you can justify the expense), but they sure do pay off when things just _work!_ The way you have your deck layout organized, and the way you all work together is great to watch. I know it is hard physical work, and you have some very long days during the summer (as we do), but it seems as if you work at a pace that doesn't leave you constantly absolutely exhausted, more vulnerable to accidents, mistakes, or slow responses. Seems like you enjoy life more, and will live longer. Thank you for posting these, and keeping us updated on the Emerald Isle. You've made a lot of progress since you brought her home. I keep waiting for Matt to dream up a machine where he pushes in a pollock or herring at one end, and 3 or 4 chunks fall out the other end, of the tube, sized "just right" for baiting halibut hooks. You "acquired' the big bait grinder for crab season, but in my mind's eye I see another "torpedo tube" device where the semi-frozen fish gets cut into chunks, while fingers do not. Probably some commercial large-scale equipment supplier makes a machine that does this, but I'd love to see what the Matt and Dad team would brainstorm. Something quick to hook up, easy to use, stows neatly, but that stops instantly if necessary. I'm sure you have many projects already lined up, so I won't hold my breath in the meantime, lol! Best regards and many thanks from land-locked northern Alberta!

Nice watching you guys fish. I learn a lot about what you are doing. Thanks for the ride..”

Hi from Australia, man l just love your videos, l have worked on a few lobster and deep sea trawler boats but watching fishing in Alaska is so cool, goodluck fishing.👍

That was cool pulling up that octopus! Make a nice meal 😄

Excellent video! It's great to see how the fish we buy is caught. I once was able to book a Halibut charter trip. It was a fantastic & fun time!

Amazing vídeo fishing 👏👏

Responsible fishing. Nice catch!

Love Your Fishing Show & The Fishing Trips! You Are All Always Great To See And That You Are All Abiding By Your Fishing Zone Laws! And Your Cach Sizes! Great Work! To All Of You & It Will Be Great To See All Of Your New Fishing Episodes Coming Soon! To You All Have A Great Day In Whatever You Are Doing Fishing + Working. Respect & My Best Regards: To You All Alfred J Kisi In NSW Australia. #Tight-Lines! & Great Luck Is Coming Your Way!

You guys are great ! Love your fishing vids ! Thank you ❤️

I worked the last halibut derby back in the 90's out of Homer, this is a lot more relaxed than the 1000 boat gold rush of those days. Out of dutch harbour we deck loaded and caught 1 400lb Halibut 3 of us 3 gaffs and one fish refusing to come aboard. Eventually we used the rock of the boat to get it aboard. I believe we were off Kodiak.

que increible pesca , mucha variedad de peces , aqui es toda una hazaña pescar uno de esoss , saludos amigos

Hello, my friend, a fisherman. Thanks for explaining how to fish. I made you catch a lot🎣🎣🎣

Great to see the family fishing together. 🐟🐟🐟

Love the excitement of every fish coming up to the boat 👍😎

So much more responsible than net fishing

I could watch these types of video all day long! Good work!

I appreciate you guys not whacking them w clubs. So many others do, I'd rather rewatch yours than theirs ... Thanks!!

안녕하세요 저는 한국 37세 남자구요 알레스카 어업방식 멋지네요 한국도 이렇게 바꼈으면좋겠네요 언제한번 뵙고싶네요 알레스카 가게될수도 친척이있거든요 구독하고 잘볼께요 친하게 지냅시다^^ 항상 안전조업하시구요

Excellent video. Great job, Mom. Very interesting for me. We did halibut fishing episode for our tv fishing show in Glacier bay in 2002. Stay safe.

Thanks for showing in slow motion the hook removal

Thanks for another very interesting video. Sitting in Northern Norway (Europe), I can see quite a few differences from the halibut fisheries we are doing here. The halibut looks the same, but ours (Atlantic Halibut) seems to be bigger in average. The minimum size here is 47 inches, and I guess the average size is more like in the range 50-55 inches. It is not unusual to get like 93 inches (approximately 100 kg / 220 lbs) halibuts, whereas the Norwegian record is 314 kg/ 692 lbs. Another difference is the vessels design (approximately the same vessel size or less) and the way we are setting and hauling the line. Always setting with the sea current and hauling against the sea current. Setting out the line at the rear of the boat, and hauling it on the starboard side, with the bow against the sea current. Normally, the branch lines are attached to the main line withe knots. It seems like we have more rough weather conditions than you, but the mountains are very similar. Keep up your good work!

i love halibut its the, best eating ocean fish!

Awesome job👍 now all ya have to do is send them Halibuts out my way😝

Nice haul need to order

Another day in the office.. Another nice day.. Beautifull day nice whether Very nice job guys Bless you all..

Greetings from Indonesia

nice catch!

Wonder if some of that Halibut hits my favorite Fish and Chip place here in Eugene,Or. Newman's Fish Company. If you haven't tried it, head over there. Been around since 1890. Best Seafood in the PNW.

Mantap Brow Banyak Dapat Ikan.

So wow

I c u place the halibut white side up, is this so the catch won’t heat up by sun? Great vid

Voy a tomar esa práctica de sacar los anzuelos en las pescas que hago.

Hi from Sweden .How many hooks do you have on the line

Thanks for another great video. I know it must be boring for y'all, but it looks rather fun an enjoyable to me.... as I sit here on my couch never have been on a working boat.

Magnifique 👏👏👏🇲🇦

Pescar aí é bom meu colega , abraço a todos

Nice office!
