[INDENT]I guess fishing halibut is like the show Swamp People with the alligators.   In New Jersey, we have summer flounder which we call fluke.   Fluke is pretty much the same thing has halibut.  There are some really good videos you can google of fluke chasing bait.  After watching the way the fluke behave with the bait under water I changed my fishing tactics last time I went fishing.  But it was late in the day everyone wanted to go home.  But in the last hour I caught 8 fish on 10 casts.   I really think I was on to something.  But everyone wanted to go home.  So now I'm dying to get out on the water again.  Fluke season opens in May but I like to wait until late June for the fish to get bigger.  Any fluke over 6 pounds is considered a lunker.   Small by your standards but really fun to catch.   I'm also going to try dropping a fake eel bait off the back of the boat as we drift in the hopes of catching a striped bass or blue fish.  There's some really cool videos of guys catching stripers off the jetties near where I live using live eels.  I may try that one time this summer.  It looked really cool and the stripers are pretty big.  The problem with New Jersey fishing is we have 12 million people here and every where I go there are always lots of people fishing.

The fishing channel shows people catching Goliath Grouper in Florida.  They look insanely difficult to catch.  Maybe someday I will get a chance to go.

What town in Alaska do you live in?  I want to look it up on the map.   Also, are the larger halibut a good eating fish?[/INDENT]
