Spring Cleaning in the attic

Been cleaning out our attic and found the boat log from Alaska. Inside was this picture of the first halibut I ever caught off our boat. Care to guess how much it weighed?

It filled our freezer for over a year and it was good eatin. Smudge our boat cat wouldn't go near it after it was landed. So much for cats loving fish! LOL

thats a big fish

Well it's no wonder your cat wouldn't go near it - it looks as if it could swallow a cat whole!

Hmm how big was it...I am going to guess 60 pounds? *l* Like horses, I know nothing of fishing either . I know I just like to eat fish, if it's a whitefish!

Was fishing in 300 feet. The total weight was 169 pounds! I was drenched when it finally got on board and I told Mike, "OK, that's it, I am done fishing for life!" LOL

what an amazing experience! I'm not a fisherman (or woman) but I would love to try that at least once. Like you that would probably hold me for the rest of my life. what a neat thing to check off on your list of life experiences.

I love to fish, but I only creek and pond fish!

I don't even know how you could reel that thing in! I would have fallen over the boat edge for sure !

Well you can tell I don't know a lot about fishing. The first thing that came to my mind was "who killed that poor shark?"
