Ed, Butch and I left the campground at 5:15 AM and headed for our day of fishing out of Homer, AK, the halibut capital of the world.
We arrived at 6:30 AM at the 50’ boat Sundy. We had 16 fisherman on this boat for an all day adventure. We headed south for about an hour & a half. We dropped lines and within 10 minutes people started to haul halibut in. That is everybody except one – me. I bragged to all those that would listen that I would catch the big one and so forth. I was just having fun jaw jacking. The one that brags is the one who eats crow usually. I started to get that crow taste in my mouth after about an hour and I was the one that hadn’t caught any. Then I got one and it was for sure a keeper and I did. It turned out to be the biggest catch of all for the day. My arms got sore over the course of the day of reeling up from about 150’ of water with a 3 lb weight on the line. So, here’s Mark holding my catch up for me. Not real big but big enough to win a small jackpot for biggest fish caught for the day.
Back at port we saw this seal just laying around. I think he’s in heaven with a boat name like Halibut
We got our fish processed (packaged/frozen) here. Not a real experienced staff. I would not recommend them. About $1.15 a lb.
