MASSIVE Halibut Fished in DEEP Border - Offshore Swiftsure Fishing

[@OwenRhodes-ukee]

Someone one KZbin who knows how to fish like the pros do. Goodjob man.

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Thanks! I did fish commercial halibut for one trip and lots of salmon but it was about 30 years ago now!

[@esits]

Yeah, I've been out there where you can't get your gear down deep enough to catch a chinook. Coho would grab it on the way down. As you said, it's fun for the first 5 minutes than not so much. Great day out at Swiftsure and nice big flattie! Awesome stuff and I can't wait to get out there this summer.

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Nice! First time out there with that must action but every time one of the best fishing spots in the world!

[@alecplate4000]

Great job. From my knowledge in BC though the halibut limit is 126 cm as of a few years now. I thought swiftsure was in BC waters!!

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

@@alecplate4000 yeah, it's a disputed part of the ocean with an interesting history. DFO seems to change the halibut size and possession limits every couple years!

[@healthandyum]

This was so interesting to watch! Thank you.

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Thank you for watching!

[@Matt.Seeks.Adventure]

Awesome fishing... Second video of yours I watched. Great content. The halibut at the end, incredible. As a VI fisherman I may need to pay the money to get out to Swiftsure one day.

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Thanks for watching both videos. That But was the cherry on top for sure! I hope to get out to swiftsure again this summer

You can find trips out of Neah Bay for 300-400 a person

[@johnlang4970]

nice trip

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Thanks John!

[@JeremyVeleber]

We got a few halibut on swiftsure (US side) at the beginning of May this year.

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Awesome! I haven't been out yet, but a I can't wait.

[@208flatheads3]

You can still fish with a Canadian license coming out of neah bay if you go over the border and get the license in person correct? When i was a kid my dad would just get em online but i heard you can't do that anymore

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Most are sold online, I know non-residents can buy online but I have never personally done it.

[@duckwacker8720]

You can, but you have to land in Canada and check your fish. Not worth it. I haven't done it in years because we carry pistols.

[@208flatheads3]

@@duckwacker8720 so after fishing say the Canadian side of the bank you gotta run into PR and check your fish in before heading back to Neah Bay? Then I'm sure you gotta deal with wdfw as well?

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

What do you wanna see next?

[@mysticfishinglens]

More prawning tips - I got skunked right next to a full trap the other day!

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

For sure, was going to go this weekend but family fun and crabbing was what we got up too

[@Zillocybin]

more tuna

[@1mw4tch1ng]

Who says LGBT only in humans. Halibut also has a community when reaches a certain length.

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

lol. Yeah, I might be wrong on that after googling it!

[@duckwacker8720]

Why is he using a turd spinning rod with a level wind?

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

The blue one? It's a slow-pitch rod with pretty good strength, the other ones are Shimano rods for hali and sturgeon, old but still good.

[@duckwacker8720]

Turn the damn clicker off!

[@fmb-fishingmeansbusiness]

Will do!
