Chicken is good ,, wife prefer’s the chicken specially from homer , we launch at homer and fish off Anchor point, that fish was shared with friends, neighbors and relatives nothing was wasted including the heads
With this size halibut it's a good idea to let it completely expire while it's still in the water and only then bring it onboard. They can break your legs with their tails or damage the boat, don't ask me how I know :)
I fish for more than 10 years all over Alaska , Seward, Whittier and Homer , never saw a shark . I heard in Whittier there’s a lot of salmon sharks but never encountered one
