Big Ones Landed ...

July 14, 2012

 

Today we headed north towards Long Beach ...
and 12 miles from harbour ...
along a sandy bank ...
trolling with the down riggers bouncing on the ocean floor ...
this is where Mike caught his 44 lb Halibut ...
Ron decided to use the harpoon on it as it was so big ...
it took both of them to haul it into the boat ...
WHAT A CATCH ... !!!!


 

As soon as we took care of Mike's Halibut ...
I had one on the line ...
it took me a while to bring it in ...
at one point it almost pulled me over ...
Ron brought this fish in with the gaff ...
My Halibut ended up weighing 38lbs ...
heading back towards Ucluelet ... catching another Halibut ...
and a few more Salmon ...
Perfect last day being out on the ocean ...
catching fish ...
 

The guys took the fish to the cleaning station ...

as I started to clean things up on the boat ...

We then headed back to where we were staying to cut and wrap up our fish ...

Taking them to the resort to be placed in the walk-in freezer ... !!

We enjoyed a quiet dinner ... baked potatoes ... salad ... corn ... & barbecued steak ... 

after our work was done ... !!
