I'm a commercial fisherman from Newport Oregon, and have long lined halibut both offshore here in Oregon (derby) and Alaska (IFQ). A couple of cool facts, it takes around 13 years for a halibut to become legal size. Also, every fish's length determines its weight... 🐟🐟

[@OnLocationSnacks]

That's awesome info, thanks for sharing!

[@angeliakanegae3441]

Oof I came here to see what the fuss is about .. also I'm in Newport or

[@GaryMorgan-u2r]

I have a question I'm looking for a salvageable boat at least a 40+' is there any in the area that you are located..because I am interested in going west and everything I am finding is east coast and Florida

[@OnLocationSnacks]

In Oregon we suggest trying the ports of Astoria/Warrenton, Newport, Charleston and Port Orford as those are the most active. Thank you for asking!

All about profit no by catch

[@jimbobbluegrass]

I enjoyed the video, but this is not a clean boat. I watch a lot of commercial halibut fishing and this is about as dirty as I have seen.

[@OnLocationSnacks]

It was dirty work for sure. 😆

[@benosick8542]

I'm sure it's intentional on the part of the captain. There's no reason to fish 130 fathoms deep for halibut unless you're trying to get sablefish on the side.

[@davestickler392]

They should be fined for the improperly handling of undersized fish. No respect for the resource.

[@dustysageroutdoors]

easy to say on the couch, go protest draggers not the longliners.
