[@HoxFeesh]

Master class in drag application. From applying enough via the reel to slow it down early, to immediately backing off the drag a bit with so much line in the water (more drag with so much line in the water), to adding more drag strategically by pressing the line down on the rod with your thumb as you lifted. Those of us who know recognize you, sir!!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

As you say, if you know you know! You are the first one, that ever picked up on that! For a white fish, halibut have an incredible turn of speed! I did not know how incredible, until that day! Thank you so much brother, much appreciated. See you on the beach 😁✊

Billy, One of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever seen and or been part of. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!!! That big barn-door flatly went for the herring rig! With those big ones, they can be dangerous, you made the right decision. On that pier alone. Holy cow man!!! Keep those memory makers in the new year.

Bro hello all the way from Detroit Michigan. And all I gotta say is your a damn CHAMPION of fishing. So many people want me to make vids of me fishing. And I tell them I love it to much to hate it. And if I make vids I will start to hate it. I have been fishing since 7 yrs old walking home from school with noting but a handling. I'm 52 now and have fished every state in America. Keep rippin" lips. This was the reelist fishing vid I ever seen. And I seen a bunch!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi. I know just how you feel, sometimes! It's not fishing, if it's just for a video! It's hard to find the balance, sometimes. Hope the ice isn't too thick, and the fish are biting! Thanks brother, see you on the beach 😁✊

[@gashacker1]

Billy, there is a story from the West Coast of North America, north of where I live, in Alaska actually. The story is about 60 years old, and involves a halibut which revealed itself to be feeding under the pier in front of a fish processing plant. A heavy line and massive bait were deployed. The fish took the bait and fought predictably on the extremely heavy line. Many men helped fight the fish and eventually the line was tied to a big truck and the fish dragged up the cement boat launch ramp. I was said to be more than 900 pounds. Your video brought that story back to my mind......

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes! My experience is exactly the same, the norwegians will write sagas about me🤣 I don't know about 900lbs, but it was more than 200. Thanks brother, much appreciated 😁👌

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

It wasn't uncommon for us to catch Halibut right off the docks at some of the hatcheries I worked at in Alaska. Never saw one 900lbs though. Biggest I ever saw was about 425lb.

[@gashacker1]

@@jasonhurdlow6607 the story went onto claim that the halibut was shot and winched up to the deck of the flatbed truck, and driven into the bay of the processing plant......

[@gashacker1]

@Billyfishing_watch My son estimated yours was 240 pounds...... Definitely worthy of an epic poem.....

[@stana.1007]

Hey Bro been watching you for awhile here in the States . I don't shore fish, strictly boats in Montauk and the Florida Keys but you make it look like a hell of a lot of fun, plus you can't beat the Norway scenery. Anyway awesome awesome catch. Maybe one day you will be here in the States, beach fishing. Catch'em Up! 😂

Thank you brother! Glad you liked it, much appreciated 😁👌

[@jamesscott933]

I'll definitely call that a win. Respect for the fish. We all got to see it. And you didn't end up in the drink. People who have tied into large Chinook salmon from the bank of a river know how dangerous it can be, especially if you get spooled. With a monster like that, one slip, or getting tangled in you're own line and your going for a swim. Glad to watch it and know you're not at the bottom of the fjord because your channel is wonderful entertainment

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Well all is well, that ends well! For both me and the fish! Thanks James, much appreciated 😁👌

Also i forgot to say, you did EXACTLY THE RIGHT thing by taking the leader for the capture and allowing the fish to break off. Trying to land that fish onshore for vanity could have easily ended up in yourself getting hurt and putting the welfare of the fish at risk. Your some lad, keep up the good work.

Yes I was Adrian, thanks brother! 😁✊

Amazing Hookup ! I had a major anxiety attack watching that big fish drop off ! I never liked using treble hooks. But when you hook a one in a lifetime keeper like that, its always nice to have a bridge gaff or big net with a long rope handy. It's always the big one that are smart or lucky enough to get away to see another day. 🐟

It is forbidden to land these fish! You can't eat them, the flash is polluted with Mercury! Thanks brother glad you enjoyed the video 😁👌

[@graemecoils878]

Wow Billy. Hello from Scotland. I watch all your vids but this one was unreal. What a Halibut. A fish a fraction of people will catch in their lifetime. Keep it up fella 😊

[@Billyfishing_watch]

The boil that horse made when coming to the surface was as big as a swimming pool 😂 The power of that fish was beyond me 🤯! I just clicked on this video to pass some time then all of the sudden I’m invested in the battle of Armageddon! Hey I’m subscribed now brother great job 🤙🏼

[@Billyfishing_watch]

What can I say, only Boeing, Boeing, Boeing! What else can I say 🤣 thanks Brother, much appreciated 😁✊

[@chrisbree3467]

Absolutely stupendous feat of angling Billy. I’m so glad that you opted for the release method that you did, it would have been such a great shame to have killed it. It gave you the fight of your life and it’s probably the biggest fish that you will ever hook. I’m so glad it was you who caught it. Fish on brother, I’m so pleased for you 🐟🇳🇴.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

I would estimate that fish, to be over 150 years old! It would indeed be a shame to kill it! Thanks Chris, glad you liked it brother 😁👌
