Wow, nice fish everybody. I've never caught a hali from a vessel, but have gotten a few from the Berkeley Pier. That'll change this year, hopefully.

Here's my biggest - 34", but skinny. It took a frozen 'chovey from a float rig:

And here's one of my best pier trips. Both 'buts were 27" and both took live smelt. One from a 3-way rig, the other from a float rig.

Hey Allen - I remember that.

Before we found NCKA, Pat and I were out with Brendan and, I think, Bob that day and I caught my first Halibut from a kayak - an 11 pounder.  We came back in and I was basking in the admiration of passersby until you guys came in and pulled those monsters out of the hatches.

Ruined my buzz.

I'll get you for that someday. :smt002

I was showing the Ketchikan pics to a friend the other night and showed him this pic of a very small pacific halibut.  He pointed out that this butts eye had yet to complete migrate to one side.  And indeed it looks like its eye is right on top of its head.  This fish was release after a quick photo.

-Allen
Title: Re: halibut photos thread
Post by: bsteves on September 27, 2006, 12:24:32 PM
Allen,

Eye migration happens as the fish transitions from the larval stage to the juvenile stage and first settles to the bottom from an otherwise planktonic exisitence.   Some flatfish species don't ever quite get that eye all the way over.  Did you happen to check the color of the blind side of that fish?  If it was dark, it might have been a greenland halibut.  From what I can tell from my identification keys is that they tend to have eyes that don't migrate as far as pacific halibut.   Just looking at that photo, it seems like the jaw seems long and the nose a bit pointy like a greenland halibut would be.  Either that, or this is just messed up Pacific halibut (the gill cover doesn't look so good either).

Brian
Title: Re: halibut photos thread
Post by: polepole on September 27, 2006, 12:36:41 PM
Hmmm ... just a funny looking halibut then.

Here's the same butt, right before I pulled it up on my lap to unhook it.  It's white on the other side.  I think the gill cover looks like that because of the way its sitting over my leg.  I didn't notice anything too unhealthy about it when I was handling it.  But then again, I didn't notice that eye until it was pointed out to me.

-Allen
Title: Re: halibut photos thread
Post by: ktnkayak on October 04, 2006, 02:49:56 PM
Allen, that one is definitely a turbot (arrow toothed flounder), which I believe is also called the greenland flounder as mentioned above. The eye is always just to the side of the spine. They're thinner, have different color, and the 'white' side is much dirtier looking. The jaw and teeth are the dead give away.

- Howard
Title: Re: halibut photos thread
Post by: polepole on October 04, 2006, 05:27:23 PM
Mystery solved then ... although I don't recall seeing the razor teeth, but then again, I wasn't looking for it.  Thanks Howard.

And something I just found in an old shoebox of photos....and scanned today. This image has been lost for a long time...ie 35 years!

July 25th, 1973 200 yards East of the Del Monte wharf [MBK]. Calm, pretty good visability....
He was a huge one ie. 4 feet and about 50 lbs.
 I got him freediving with a small swimaster speargun w/ 2 bands. Sleigh ride lasted quite a while.

Pacific halibut, roughly 35#
Pacific City, Oregon - Aug 27th, '09
Had to let it go as it was about a week and a half after the quotas were met.  :smt011

Yes, I know. Having it laying here, alive and unsecured, was a recipe for disaster in many ways. But hey, it worked out luckily.

This appears to be a good time and place to retire last year's avatar. This was my first and only Halibut thus far, ARW Summer 2009. Actually Ariel Sea helped me with the gaff-n-whack. So it remains a bit of a challenge with self to out-do it. I just bought the boat two weeks before. Sharky had turned me out on his scupper pro just before that. So I'd say I'd been out on a yak less than ten times by this point. Sadly another comparable hali was lost by me 15 minutes later. Now I always carry a gaff and bat. Then there's all the fish I caught before I was born  :smt001

Sorry if I'm mistaken Jordan ... but I smell a spam coming on.

* First 4 posts are "good job" posts.
* Two of them say you'll post pics shortly.  Where are they?
* Canadian IP address that has been flagged for spam before.

Come on.  Bring it on.

Really?  How does google tell you a real guy isn't a spammer?  Did you look at how many forums he has joined recently?  Did you check his IP address against known spam IP addresses?

This evening I caught my first Halibut.  I was trolling a six inch jointed Rapala just off Del Monte Beach.  I was actually targeting Stripers (so I thought), but was quite excited to see the Hali. No record breaker but a fine first! I would be thrilled to get another one.  I put this one back because I didn’t feel like cleaning fish tonight because I have to work in the morning; not to mention the good juju that comes from releasing nice fish. 
Kayak fishing is the greatest!!!
