The BIG one. 108.9 official pounds, but we rounded up and say it's 110 - LOL . But, sadly it wasn't ours.. And this is why we booked another charter, set for Thursday morning, this time out of Homer :P

Is gun-shooting halibut and other big fish a common method of catching them?

@poopologist96 If they can't get them into the boat easily, then yes.

what is the make of filleting knife you use?

[masterdebator7]

is it dangerous to do this without gloves? especially when u stuck ur hand inside the fish stomach I heard the bacteria in there is really dangerous. Oh and where can i learn to fillet like u? :D

@cubanboy740 shooting is so much easier.

[cubanboy740]

@AK49BWL Why shot it ?? just stab it in the brain, instant kill.

@leo1234 lol you don't want a 110 pound halibut flopping around on your boat with people walking around it. all you'll hear is snaps and slaps

very well done. nice clean cuts. good job. Not sure if sticking your hands in the belly would be a good healthy idea while handling edible meat though.

thanks for posting.
