Well I have finally taken the time to post about my Alaskan halibut trip ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO! Anyway, we spent the first week chasing salmon than the last 3 days in Homer for barn door butts. Well needless to say we never landed any barn doors but we did see boats on 2 out of the 3 days right next to us(40 yards away) land 300lb+ butts. I cant even begin to tell you da size of the teeth on those things. You know the teeth are pretty big when from 40 yards away they look big! Even though it would have been a lot better if it was us landing those fish it was still awesome to see. I just couldnt believe my eyes on how big they are it is unreal... The bad thing is everytime I catch one of those nice 30 lb bay butts I just dont look at it the same after seeing those barn doors. Its just a whole nother ball game up der. Well as for things I learned.....CIRCLE HOOKS! I have never taken hooks out of nice sized butts so easily. I have finally(I think) figured out how to post pictures so here are some from the trip. Our biggest butt between the 5 of us was 70lbs although the photo is from one of the smaller days. Derby winners for the 3 days were 365lbs, 322lbs, and 347lbs. As you can see with the one of me and the silver, look at my other 2 buddies with fish on too. It is just too easy up there :-)
