1st DMFD vid I've watched since my father passed last April. We would usually watch these videos together. Great content as always. I just miss my old man's comments showing how amazed he is whenever there is a huge catch.

[@PlumbusRunner]

I’m sorry to hear about your father. That’s a beautiful memory you have of him and I’m sure you have plenty more. 🙂

[@Daryl1016]

Sorry for your loss. My dad passed last year as well. Hold on to those memories. He’ll live on through them forever.

[@lowencarlson4569]

Sorry for your loss.

[@deermeatfordinner]

Man I’m so sorry to hear you lost your dad! I’m sure he was super proud of you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@RefinerSimilitude]

I'm sorry you lost your dad. It sounds like you were blessed to have had a good one that you made a lot of good memories with.

[@flhtc0383]

If you have never caught a Halibut it's like pulling up a soaked matress from the bottom. It's a LOT of work! Good job Robert! What a memory you created!

[@millerslanding2310]

Gotta keep that nose UP!!

[@adamyoung480]

Then it see’s the boat, and go’s right back down. Good times.

[@Teewaree13]

How much does it weigh???

[@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344]

A soaked mattress that has the strength to pull a canoe underwater

[@Veltora11]

The precision with which that man cut the Halibut was INSANE. The bone imprints on the fillet are crazy, that is expert level muscle control!

[@MrHollipe]

hahaha... he is unproffessionell... first catch a fish and then after he draws him up he is searching for the tools to kill the fish and pull it out... how crazy.....

[@FranciscoJalomo-fp6xe]

Unprofessional or not you still watched lol

[@ashimshrestha9578]

You not only teach us about fishing or hunting but you teach us about life.. From good father to a good husband you teach us all... If I ever make to the states you are THE person I want to meet.. Learned alot from you

[@survivormandan8576]

Everything about this trip is so awesome, the crystal clear weather, the beautiful location, and the fish of a lifetime! Thanks for doing what you do and letting us join you on the adventure!

[@mstrdiver]

I would wager a large amount that Rob wanted one of his Hooker electric reels about this time - 07:50. He is exhausted and commented on the fish being heavy.

[@billwhite7099]

For those of you who may be inexperienced at fishing Robert gave a great display of how you reel down on a fish without putting slack in the line or taking the bend out of the rod. Super job as always DeerMeat, halibut nuggets for days. What a thrill. My uncle was station in Kodiak with the Coast Guard during the middle 70s. They would catch those beasts on the reg and would shoot them boat side to get em in the boat, hey it was the70s, so shooting was always on the table. 🤣

[@millerslanding2310]

Its not uncommon still to bring a bang stick or some smaller caliber firearm to deal with these guys!

[@deermeatfordinner]

Thanks a ton Me. BILL!!! Any time I’m fishing with somebody, I’ll try to teach them to “reel the bend into the rod”

[@davidbuben3262]

Yup. I earned a spot on a commercial 35 foot mahogany hull boat by volunteering to help the skipper do repairs through the winter. At fourteen years old I longlined halibut out of Homer all summer. We had a M1 carbine for the big ones. Such an adventure! c1972.

Robert I will sometimes fast forward on some other channels to see the fish, but never do that when I’m watching you. You’re so genuine and your love of your family and what you do is inspiring. God bless.

137 lbs such a magical number and moment.

[@timvos5371]

I just have to say it, Robert you are one of the finest individuals I have seen in my time. You are a great father and husband. However you have always stayed true to your fans. Many blessings to your and your wonderful family!

[@thehuntingfisherman5101]

Only DeerMeat would drive to Alaska rent a boat somewhere and catch a monster halibut LOL man I love this guy what an inspiration. TGBTG

[@zacharyduncan6118]

You can’t really drive to Alaska, it’s more a fly in situation.

[@packbadge]

@@zacharyduncan6118 what...yes you can drive to Alaska. You can either drive through Canada (which is no problem) or you can drive to Seattle and drive onto a ferry and take it up to any stop in Alaska you'd like a long the way.

[@divest2099]

that was a reckless he just went for speed. He popped some of the bile around the area. No thanks I wouldn't touch that fish with a 10-foot pole after he cleaned it.

[@antoinechristopherofficial]

That was a horrible cleaning of the fish!!!

[@billyjoe1666]

Been dealing with major depression. 1st video I've watched of dmfd in almost two years.

I’m so jealous of this guy, I’ve been a North Atlantic commercial fisherman since the early 70’s , an accomplished chef, a carpenter , a bartender and all around people/seafood/maritime lover now working in a seafood shop in St. Augustine, Florida and just can’t imagine being able to do these adventures. And I love the relationship and he has with his little girl, she so cute and smart, not to mention one hell of a fishergirl. C’mon down to St. Augustine and we’ll go catch some Mahi, Yellowfin and Swordfish together, as I haven’t done it yet but know this skipper could put us on some fish 🎣 God bless you Capt!

I had a friend that was originally from Ak. He would go back home once a year and he gave me some halibut. That fish is very good tasting. Nice job Rob. You’re living the dream.

Was the audio out of sync for you ? I’ve noticed it on a few of his videos lately . Not sure if it’s my buffering of my internet or not

[@Hightower_850]

[@graber46]

Love Halibut. Did not catch it. But brought back 30 pounds of it back to Florida. Salmon too! I also watch this channel with my father. That is why we are not still in Alaska. Because we had to get back to him and keep watching you to make my dad happy and still are watch you guy’s together. He is terminal I’ll with cancer. Watch Bluegabe too!

Robert, I’ve got to admit that flounder is bigger than the ones we get out of the Gulf of Mexico in Pensacola. Great Video.

[@steveurban3021]

Wow, that my friend was awesome. I’ve been watching you since condo days and no children. Watching you rent a boat instead of paying a charter guy that would definitely put you on fish was a great inspiration for others to do the same. I’m in Sarasota Fl. and have a 18 foot Jon boat and 4 beautiful children and we have a blast going out in the boat. I love showing them all the great things as I did growing up here. Making wonderful memories. Love ya man

I love dad's sayings.:) Happy fathers day. What is your dad's favorite saying? Mine was: "Treat the people the best you can the first time, the second time treat them the way they treat you".

[@michaelmartinez8902]

Wow! What an awesome monster of a fish! I have to say, I was amazed that you, a former charter boat Captain & avid fisherman would not have gotten your gaff & harpoon ready before you put bait in the water. Another excellent video. As always, thanks for allowing us to share in your big adventure. TGBTG!

[@deermeatfordinner]

I was more focused on getting to the spot and getting started… it’s pretty sketchy taking a little rental boat 30 miles into the gulf of Alaska. I was paying ultra close attention to the motor function and boat…. Luckily, due to darting countless alligators, I’ve become halfway decent at getting things out together quickly. Once I saw it was a big one, I loosened the drag so it could start going back down slowly until I got ready… it all worked out and I’m thankful for that!

Chefs tip. I use thin bacon that’s been rendered with water before I wrap. That way the halibut won’t over cook before the bacon crisps.

[@richardhannon8872]

Rob amazing fish brother. When I was younger myself and 2 of my cousins pulled in a halibut that size over in Norway in a Norwegian rowboat. How we did it without flipping the boat God only knows. And we were not using rod and reel. We were doing traditional Norwegian drop line handline fishing. 3 teenagers and muscles. We got lucky and we caught it right outside of the harbor of the small fishing village where my family is from. Ongrats on your PB brother. You can get a lot of the same fish in them same cold waters in both Alaska and Northern Norway where my family is from. Fishing was our hustle when I was there and we had a fish processing plant right on the dock in the village. So by the end of the season it paid for my trip over and my trip over the following Year. If I wasn't working on families fishing boats. Me and my cousins were out there in a rowboat. Lol I wish I was in the shape I was in back then lol. But once again great video. Only wish I was there and in better shape than I am now after surgery. Stay safe safe travels and God bless you Sarah the girls and your crew brother. I'm on a long road of healing right now and I know that it's gonna be a ruff road. But I'll get there one day at a time.

[@deermeatfordinner]

Thank you for the story! I can only imagine you boys out there wrestling with that monster!!! Praying for a full and quick recovery for you!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@davidbuben3262]

That's right, I forgot that in my story of longlineing out of Homer Alaska. We would make 4 or 5 sets, and I would toss out a handline, using herring, bacon and tinfoil. No, I'm not kidding. Caught my biggest barn door doing that. About 145 pounds. We were getting $1.00 per pound in 1972. I was 14 years old and the fish weighed more than me. It was actually a lot easier to bring up than with a rod and reel. Our step mom caught the biggest of all of us. 242 pounds, out of Kodiak, in the 80s.
