Just For the Halibut

At $15 per pound we got about $1,300 worth of halibut.  The experience, priceless.  We had a lot of fun.  We were quite worried about getting sea sick & took dramamine before we left.  The dramamine made us pretty sleepy.  Whenever we were motoring to the next location, we were all asleep.  The water was like glass & the weather was pretty decent.  We got our limit of two each.  We released a number of smaller ones.  Smaller being I would guess less than 15 pounds.  The biggest one was about 28 pounds, although I thought my last one was going to be huge.  The fish took the line out of the reel & was moving me around the boat.  My arms were getting tired & I was about ready to ask for help.  When the fish came up, it was about the same size as the others, but apparently it was good entertainment.  As you can see from Emily struggling to lift the fish, they were pretty heavy, although they were no where near the record of over 300 pounds.  Although, Jacob who lifts weights didn't seem to have any problem.  Tomorrow is our last day.  We are planning on going on a hike in the city.  We may do it again next year.  Guest contributor:  Calvin.
