Catching Alaskan HALIBUT | Using a Shark Hook

Catching Alaskan Halibut in Southeast Alaska. We are now living in Ketchikan, AK and learning the fishery here. In this video Tj catches a nice size halibut. In need of a Shark hook he improvise with a gaff and lands it. We also do a little crabbing dropping some crab pots with friends.

[@Blackwellington_]

Really enjoyed the editing of the video! Really high quality. Hopefully a cooking part to follow up :)?

[@gregkotkoff6051]

found you thanks to Fishermans life can't wait for more videos

[@riverrat1149]

Halibut fishing.!00.00 dollars worth of gas, a Slack tide,2lbs of lead 200' down, hook halibut and reel in what feels like a 4x8 sheet of plywood.It's all about the groceries when it is all over.LOLLove the video looking forward to more of AK. Ever been knocked out by a big halibut?I have!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Hahaha Yes! Thats probably one of my favorite parts seeing the amount of quality meat that comes from these fish and getting in in the freezer and in my belly. Neither of us has been knocked out yet. Getting them in the boat is definitely an ordeal. lol

[@riverrat1149]

I commercial fished the Bering Sea for years.Two-three hundred pounder slapped me in the head, up against a steel bulkhead.Three deckhands were wrestling it.

[@jmickart]

Hope you guys do a catch and cook with some of that halibut. But..I bet its not as good as some Arkansas crappie :)

[@blaisedavis8623]

Awesome video keep them coming.

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Great stuff my man. Here's to hopping I can get out there so you can put me onto some big fishies. Salmon is on and I will be hitting the river soon. Miss you two. Take care my friends.

[@USNVA11]

Nice fish ! You guys are going to need a bigger freezer LOL 🤣🍺

[@redwood9741]

We harpoon the big ones and then shoot them..then cut the gills and let them bleed out. but we always have gaffs and shark hooks to pull them up into boat...after they are dead. But you did just fine !..nice fish !

[@user-kk6lc1th2r]

I only really surf fish so I've no frame of reference for how difficult it must be to pull up and land a huge fish like that, but that was a beautiful hali! Great job!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

It was tricky but felt good getting it in the boat. Haven't caught anymore like this guy but we sure would like too.

[@lordblur7674]

nice job TJ , feel the burn lol been looking forward to your videos more to come i hope . hey a guide i use here in washington , screamin' reels is doing boats in alaska now, check him out for work maybe your a natural , his name is Derick , good luck to you and jan on your alaska adventure . looking forward to more of your videos tight lines man and good luck

[@tjjanalaska8674]

lord blur Thanks we will have to check him out. We are pretty stoked on Alaska. Always good connecting with other fishy fellers. Best of luck to you fishing as well!

[@PvMPRODIGY]

What knives is the one being used to fillet the fish?

[@nathenlugo446]

Good videos good audio nice music just need the catch n cook n taste it show us what to do

[@rattlelarry2186]

my pb hali is in Cali at 14 inches

[@tjjanalaska8674]

We didn't end up measuring this one, there are a lot of smaller ones here that you can catch too and then there are some big ones.

[@jeremiahvang2781]

Song?

[@PandaLuv925]

Matt sent me here

[@marcusaurelius652]

Same. But this isn’t even close

[@rheymarkfabian4812]

i subs ... great channel tho!!

[@ryancarney7599]

How much are charters with u guys

[@tjjanalaska8674]

It varies depending on the time of year and the type of fishing you want to do. We charter through Strike Zone Sportfishing in Ketchikan, AK. I'll put a link to their website and rates below. You can book half-day (4hr) salmon charter for $150 per person. www.alaskastrikezone.com/fishing-charter-rates/

[@rossbrand1617]

You should bleed the halibut then it’s in the water after you shark hook it will kill it a lot fast and a better quality of meat you will get from it

[@oakland002]

How about making a battery power wrench, might help your back .

[@nathenlugo446]

Catch n cook more people will watch especially if ur cathing these big fish

[@nathenlugo446]

Catch n cook

[@Ms_Tania]

Nathen Did you think they didn't understand the other 3 times your comments suggested to do a catch n cook ? lol

[@nathenlugo446]

Do catch n cook

[@israelrivas134]

how much for a pound of halibut!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Israel Rivas its around 25 per lb right now

[@israelrivas134]

Tj & Jan do you guys ship lol, that's expensive

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Israel Rivas haha unfortunately not.

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Israel Rivas unfortunately not it might be something we do in the future once we figure out the legalities. For now we catchy it and eat it.

[@rheymarkfabian4812]

thats a flounder right?

[@exoticlemonlover]

Rheymark Fabian good one

[@akdonlh9924]

Nice fish but you sure waste a lot filleting like that

[@Ogreslol]

they didn't waste anything.. the section left behind is covering the stomach and theres tons of parasites living in there so you generally don't take the meat over the stomach on halibut.

[@Ms_Tania]

Just a suggestion .... Maybe warn viewers before clubbing the fish incase children (or people that don't like to see that) are watching . It's just nice to have the choice to see it or not . :)

[@rawimpact]

or how about you don watch fishing videos?

[@Ms_Tania]

sshhhh !!!

[@marcusaurelius652]

Who complains about clubbing a fish. It’s a fishing video. They aren’t just catching and releasing. Trying to make the fish late for something

[@redwood9741]

Lib tards..they are funny..lol

[@kobyhubbs6105]

Clubbing them to put them out of their pain is the humane thing to do.

[@Broxty]

Jesus... So much blood in the meat... Google how to properly bleed a halibut bro, that was painful to see.
