Fishing for Halibut with the Guys | Hauling Halibut Longline

[@seansoukounian390]

I love this camera angle . Looks like great fishing, good to see the all the guys fishing together.

[@robertchapin3683]

Another fun video. "T" is getting better at baiting. Pretty soon he'll be a master.

[@kerrypitt9789]

😂 I think!

[@Scottb92768]

First thing first thank you for the video always appreciate it. And this is a crew fishing video and you made me appreciate your channel even more you didn't try to sugarcoat you didn't try to act as if you know each scene cut out where you're not catching anything you show the truth of fishing it isn't always catch catch and catch sometimes you fish all day and only catch one sometimes you don't catch anything at all and to me y'all just showed how fishing really is.thank you as always best fishing videos out on KZbin

[@cindydenton2681]

We were wondering when we would see your happy face as one of team EIS! 😂❤always great to see you all together!

[@sandradunbar339]

So happy with this follow-on from previous video in that, this time, you finally were rewarded with some halibut. Given the large volume of starfish especially on the previous video I often wonder what goes through your mind as you de-hook these creatures and release them to the ocean with the thought , "see you again next set". From your actions when you grab the animal around the scruff of the neck ? to de hook it, If it was me I would be thinking and physically acting, you mongrel and wring its neck. Nice thought but I guess the starfish does not have a neck to wring like a chicken. On another note I liked the brotherly love and given sense of pride when you looked around at Tristan as he was undertaken some work at the back of the boat which he was doing without any request, and you nodded and gave the impression of saying, good work, well done. I do admire Tristan's work ethic as he is not on the boat on a regular basis and I acknowledge that for practical purposes we have to bait with old bait left in the hold. The reality is that by the time the target fish get a look at it; the rubbish fish have already consumed it as it is very soft and easily removed from the hooks. On that basis I wonder the worth of baiting with such soft and rottenness, but that is bye the bye, my point here is that well done Tristan, your not on the boat on a day to day basis and you are not like me, I would have been heaving last weeks meals over the side of the boat with the excuse it could be classified as chum.

[@EISAlaska]

The starfish can get a bit demoralizing, but you never know what will be on the next hook. Thats the eternal optimism of a fisherman I guess. 😂 tristen does great work, its boring and mindless and he does it without protest, always proud of him. Thanks for the great comment, sandra!

[@MillerWB87]

I like this camera position! We can see more of what is going on.

[@Scottb92768]

Absolutely.it show's everything baiting and rail work

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks for the feedback! So glad you’re enjoying the video.

[@stebnalang2824]

I do like the new camera angle, it gives us a perspective of the whole operation. Thanks.

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks for taking us along!

[@scottdilley356]

I'm glad I saw this. This morning lol lol tell tye to move faster lol lol now he is doing OK lol have a great day thanks again

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, you too, scott!

[@cyrillawless]

Looks like you chaps need a market for those star fish 😂

[@EISAlaska]

Haha, if only!

[@popquizzz]

If Starfish were thee goal you guys nailed it!

[@Scottb92768]

I was just telling my wife if star fish were worth anything they would be rich as could be lol.not even sure if star fish are eatable?

[@EISAlaska]

Not edible that I know of.

[@Scottb92768]

You know I think I like the angle of the camera the way you got to set now you can see pretty much everything Not sure what you're doing on the other side of the reel when you're over there standing bend over looking at something but that's not a big deal I like this angle you can see where t's baiting the hooks and you can seen the whole rail action. But he's not real fast but t's also not had the privilege of being on the boat as much he stays home helps mom which is great because Mom always needs help no matter what moms are important but not a bad video this time awesome thank you appreciate it

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Scott, so happy to hear the feedback! T is a good man, helps big time and keeps Mom company too!

[@TheDrPopEye]

It seems like the Emerald Isle will have a lot more room for Halibut fishing!

[@Scottb92768]

Right when the whole crew is on board it seems like the room is limited.si that's why they got emerald Island.and I believe it will even give them more luck especially the first set of whatever they set out

[@robertgiguere7137]

Looks like a good soak so far.

[@niallocallaghan5883]

Great video guys 👏👏

[@isickofit]

Great mix of camera positions..

[@philmccumbee6938]

I got excited when I saw this video pop up. I thought it was the first trip out on the EI. Oh well good video and I am still waiting for the maiden fishing trip on the EI.

[@EISAlaska]

Hehe, very soon, phil!

[@sandtowalk]

Replay guys

[@trendingfarmus]

What’s your most memorable catch?

[@EISAlaska]

Probably a cod that barfed up a potato. Yes, an actual potato 🥔! 😂

[@williammcdonald3293]

We call those sea whips in the old country. When I was a kid growing up there, we would chase each other on the strand for S's and giggles, and it hurt. Lol. What was that big white blob that got thrown back into the water?

[@EISAlaska]

Probably a sea anemone. Thanks for watching and commenting, William!

[@PhilsHobbyRoom]

Just think with the bigger boat 🚢 how much more room yall are going to have and not be as cramped even bring mom along lol 😊

[@chrisstrand500]

Allot of Patricks 😂

[@EISAlaska]

Back to Bikini Bottom with you! 😂

[@mikeladley5149]

Matt said T could work the railing. I saw you checking on your brother with a smile. 😉 He was probably thinking, I aint learning anything baitin hooks Matt, do you? 😆

[@kevinkompolt8033]

Curious, also, about the white blobs towards the end of the video. Anemones? Also, do the sea stars impact your catch rate by getting to the bait before the halibut? Great to see Tristan on board…love his contributions to the efforts and to the channel. Still looking forward to some catch/cook videos…I imagine you have some great recipes to share with us. Peace!

[@EISAlaska]

Those are anemones, correct! Yep the starfish are certainly a nuisance, occupying that bait/hook instead of a halibut or cod. We haven’t forgotten about Catch, Clean, and Cook, haven’t had the time but we’ll have something cooking before too long. 🙂

[@saso-qk6mc]

The view is much much better from slightly forward of where the fish come over the rail.

[@Murzerker333]

I always appreciate when you drop us some knowledge. I was wondering what those sea pens were. I am wondering what the white blobs were towards the end of the haul.

[@EISAlaska]

I would say sea anemones most likely. We love to share and respond to questions, thanks for that!

[@zerog5041]

Yep, definitely some Deja Vu at the beginning there guys, twice Matt exclaims "Another shark..." excellent video though!

[@Scottb92768]

This is the real fishing trip as we all know.it isn't always catch and catch and catch.lol I really believe that they should leave in the part's of not catching anything because it shows everyone that fishing isn't always catching so many everyday

[@TULUSRECORD]

Good

[@joedelciotto3589]

👍

[@gregm312]

nice camera placement

[@chriskulpa4056]

What were the white puff balls at the end? I don't think I've ever seen you guys pull those up from the depths. Good to see T back at it. Wasn't sure if he wasn't into the family biz or something. I know you said he was holding down the fort at home with mom but I'm guessing he likes runnin on the boat just as much. I know I would! You said it too though, if he's not on the rail then he's never gonna know what to do if needed there. Always a great video you guys put out. I noticed it was a bit cramped trying to get around him at the baiting table. I'm sure it will be nice to have all that room on the Isle one it's in action!

[@EISAlaska]

Those were sea anemones! I do like being a part of the business and helping on the boat, I think I’m still figuring out my role(s) in all of it, it’ll come with time haha. It is certainly a bit cramped, a bit moreso with hauling off the side instead of the stern but we make it work, definitely looking forward to the expanded area on the EI though for sure!

[@chriskulpa4056]

@@EISAlaska anemonomeones.....cool :) Good to see you around T!

[@reynantep.9544]

👍👍👍

[@waynejones6215]

Fish must be on vacation😅

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Is there a fine for undersized halibut? Still waiting for the hook set you were so great fully sending me!🐟

[@EISAlaska]

I’m sure there are some consequences but I think unless it’s egregious offense they may let you slide on one or two. We always play it safe though, not worth keeping if you’re unsure to risk a fine. We’re out fishing again but once the season concludes we’ll be sure to get one out to you!

[@ryanhoward1013]

Did I see the same shot twice with the shark? The first one at 3:41 and the next time was 5:56 it's the same catch I watched it a few times to confirm it. I can't believe that you had to that. Is it true?

[@EISAlaska]

Whoops, good catch!

[@ryanhoward1013]

@EISAlaska That's OK, I'll let it slide, but that's how close I watch your videos. I love your channel and watch it every day even if I have to watch an old one. You guys are great, and I look forward to everyone. May God bless you all. I pray that you fill your boat everyday your out on the water.

[@michaelpage7691]

Does your licence only allow you to take halibut or can you keep other species? Also what is the round about price you get per kilogram/ pound? Great show.👏👏🇦🇺

[@colinbrown.]

I've seen scalpin for sale in ther U.K., do you not have a quota for them or is there no market at your local port?

[@wayneneher6362]

Sunstars, also known as Door Prizes.

[@jabbalechat7910]

Good camera angle...

[@robdeaton9910]

Just curious, how much by catch of cod are you allowed longlining halibut? Do you guys just do day runs or do you camp out for a day or so? I know you will be able to take longer trips on EI, looking forward to watching those videos when she makes her first real fishing trip.😊

[@steenhoffmann4259]

Hey guys thanks for the trip. My son-in-law is training to become a 1st degree fishing skipper, what degree does your old man have. Greetings from Misery Bay Northern Denmark

[@samuelpullens]

Sorry guys but I don't like the new angle because you don't get the fish on it's way up. But otherwise you guys are doing well an I'm extra proud that you keep it in the family 😊

[@EISAlaska]

No problem! We love hearing feedback. Well keep refining the camera position over time.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Is there a crab season coming?

[@EISAlaska]

Hopefully! We’ll find out in November. Looking forward to it, fingers crossed!

[@karldahl4113]

seems to me that there could have been a better place for T to stand while baiting the hooks!!!

[@EISAlaska]

Nah, thats about the only place, really. Fish are in the bin in center with totes and other stuff opposite of him.

[@johnmeeks9618]

I noticed that you keep the Poluk/Cod when you don’t keep other fish, why?

[@canadianphil421]

To bad we here isn’t a market for starfish

[@EISAlaska]

They are so thick this year! Tired of seeing them haha!

[@yogihartmann8562]

Too bad there’s not a market for starfish you’d be Rich!

[@iansmartel5473]

Quite agree with you, they need to find a market for starfish.

[@mikeladley5149]

😂😂

[@EISAlaska]

No kidding! They have gotten so thick, cant seem to get away now.

[@josesangineshernandez415]

Buenas tardes marineros

[@EISAlaska]

Hola!

[@bobmulder4064]

Must be an old video as last i saw transfering the reel etc to the other vessel.

[@EISAlaska]

Yep, just the last trip before transferring the gear over.

[@paulfunk8968]

What were all the blobs you were getting

[@EISAlaska]

Sea anemones, they’re quite squishy!

[@billmorris5447]

hauling for Halibut on the starboard side seems way less efficient and hardly any room to move around on the boat or work....looks way more difficult than the stern

[@EISAlaska]

The workflow might be slightly more awkward getting the fish from the side to the back but it pays itself off with being easier on the guys in regards to lifting fish and more importantly the maneuverability of the boat, easier to clear snags and avoid getting line in the prop.

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

Slabs 😊

[@timothyfoster7564]

YOU SEEM TO BE FISHING WARE THERE MUST BE GOOD DROP OFFS,

[@thomascary1752]

To bad dogfish don't make good bait.

Trade spots haha nope you are doing the boring job
