60lb Halibut in Building Seas! 450ft Deep! Alaskan Halibut Fishing - Juneau, Alaska! JUNE 2024

[@EISAlaska]

Nice halibut, Captain Zac! That's what we like to see! That size are some wonderful eating. Some beautiful rockfish by Mary, too!

[@willtyler]

Nice halibut! Can't wait for head thumps next week! As a non-resident, I have a hard time identifying rockfish that I can keep. My general theory is that the more brightly colorful, the less likely I can keep it. Is there a better guide for identifying the non-pelagic variety?

[@user-wr3vt8uq4s]

A lot of fish&wildlife departments have online lists with pictures to identify local species. Some universities will also have an online or printable list of them.

Mary just about turned inside out with that jerk on the bite!! She is so cute, and what a great fishing companion you have, Zac!

[@ericwiegele7651]

Captain Zac and Mary What a day on the water… Great boat handling skills. Them waves are exhausting. Beautiful halibut. I’m currently in Petersburg. Just finished up are 3rd full day. Halibut fishing is great. Largest is 92 so far. Two days left, go home Wednesday… The weather is the best I’ve ever seen it. Water is like a pond…. Tight Lines may friend… E

Nice to see Mary wearing a brace for her fishing rod. Must be nice for her too. Very entertaining video.

[@jonathanproctor690]

Great video! I just returned from my annual trip and caught my biggest Halibut to date....a 183 pound beast! Caught while jigging for lincod in about 100 feet of water

[@CaptainZac]

Wow @jonathanproctor690 congrats on the massive halibut! I bet that was quite a surprise if you were targeting ling cod and then that big hali hit! Tight lines! Captain Zac

[@waikarimoana]

another awesome fishing trip Captain Zac, a couple of beauties landed too, enjoyed the trip with you team, thanks, thumbs up and greetings to all,, Tony.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Nice Hali 👍👍

[@gc0960]

Always fun watching you guys having fun out there. You guys are truly blessed to share your passions on the water. Wishing you both a safe and successful run the rest of the season. Keep a tight line. If it doesn’t budge much on the hookset then lookout! :)

[@bradleyeis7319]

Great catch Zac, that Hali was huge.

[@davidsolberg9464]

Another great trip!! Thanks for sharing it with us. I am always looking forward to your next video. A mixed bag of some fantastic table fare, can't beat that. Hope you are doing well. Good luck, have fun, and be safe out there my friends.

[@AnglingSpiders]

Great stuff, beauty halibut and nice to see some other species as well

[@philmccumbee6938]

Great video. Glad you were so successful. I would like to be able to filet fish as fast as you do. Tight lines to you both.

[@waynehillstead7424]

Another fantastic day, with a great fish, and a full freezer. I am worried about Mary. Refusing an electric reel when you're at 500 feet, something is just not right. I'll bet you have her converted soon. Keep up the good work, Captain.

[@kimzook7758]

Nice Hali, Zac! Always a pleasure to follow you and Mary. Have had a good season in Kachemak Bay, freezer full of Hali and king portions 😊.

[@markmaccani9411]

Zac, Nice haul of fish there. Halibut with some Cod and Rockfish mixed in is always good. Hope your Coho fishing has been picking up. Sounds like they been doing pretty good over in the Sitka area which is a bit early. Also still some keeper Kings around which is a bit late for them. Can't wait to get back up there. Tight lines my friends.

[@samsmith7150]

Man you must eat alot of fish!

[@Bradleyoutdoorsman]

Great job

[@johnbolton9957]

Nice!!! Excellent mixed bag of delicious groceries!

[@WilliamMorgan1105]

Hey captain zac, great video, love halibut fishing! We fish out in Prince Rupert B.C. for our hali's

[@CaptainZac]

Hey @williammorgan9299 many thanks for the positive comment and I'm glad you enjoyed this halibut action! Oh cool - I hear there is some great fishing down around Prince Rupert! Thanks again for stopping by and tight lines! Captain Zac

[@WilliamMorgan1105]

@CaptainZac thanks, It's great fishing out in prince rupert! I'm new to you're channel it's awesome watching all the good content you are putting out with trolling for kings and coho! Keep it up 👍🏾

[@Fishpassionbox_global]

Very nice! My Petersburg trip was not as fruitful, a ton of chickens and a few 20-30lbers. Still great times and plenty of crab and fish but didn’t break the 50lb mark on halibut

[@markleonard-pe3os]

Awesome again! Love Mary's hook set she about comes out of her boots ! Do you know why you have to do deep release on rockfish but not on the Hali's and do what of release on the cod? Thanks

[@jago76]

Another Captain Zac/Mary successful trip. I wonder if you freeze most of the fish you catch or eat them fresh?

[@mrcorona77777]

Good day Captain what's your opinion on spiral wrapped rods?

[@craig1lengyel]

Which are better eating, the rock fish or the Cod? Nice video. Have to see if you have a boat tour. Looks like you have good cockpit space and running on a single engine. Maybe it would be a nice boat for me in Connecticut!

[@CaptainZac]

Hi Craig thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this halibut action! Tough call! I like them both - rockfish are more firm and dense and make great fish tacos or coconut curry fish. Cod is a softer and flakier but has outstanding mild sweet taste - great for fish and chips! Here is my boat walkthrough in case you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn23i3-Frq-CoKc Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@bmiller7710]

Rock fish all day but captain Zack talked me into trying cod and quite delicious

[@earlfryejr5407]

Hey ​@@CaptainZac, I've never had either one of those type of fish. Do you know where I can order them from? My location is Pensacola Florida

[@darylmanumik5980]

You ever try close to shore very early season like when them herring are running?

[@paulcarlson-es1gw]

what electric reel and rod and line combo are you using ? great catches

[@stevenholton438]

Is that the tip of Admiralty?

[@ronaldpretzel7170]

Too funny
