About this image:
Anybody want fish for dinner?
In the waters of
Alaska Glacier Bay National Park, this halibut grabbed
our bait/lure & line and took off for the hills. It was a
bit of a fight to get him back and we expected it was a good
sized something or other. However once this halibut got
close enough to actually see it, we realized this was no "chicken",
we had a very, very BIG halibut on the line. We took a
picture looking downwards from the deck of our
CR Yachts 400DS sailboat into the water
- we weren't going to haul it out for a picture.
The Octopus lure/bait used measures 8" / 20 cm long ad is
shown on the inset picture. You can also see the bait/lure
in his mouth and it looks rather small compared to the fish!
Conservatively we estimate this halibut at 6 ft / 1.8 m
long. A fish of this caliber poses several problems. The
first and most obvious is "How do we subdue it and get it on
board?" and secondly although we have an Isotherm freezer on
board this is a lot of fish to freeze! Because these fish
are so powerful, and can easily damage gear and equipment if
not subdued before coming on board, we decided to let him
go.

few weeks later. This one was "only" 42" / 106 cm long. |

About this image:
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor low hanging clouds.....
As you can see Dean was bitten by the fishing bug. While Leo
(using all of his brains) sat inside the sailboat with the
Espar D4 diesel heater roaring away making it nice and
toasty inside, Dean (using only a small unfrozen portion of
HIS brain) sat outside in the rain fishing. Unfortunately
that night was a simple dinner of soup and some
homemade bread... |

About this image:
I think I know where all the fish are...
This one actually didn't happen while we were fishing, but
because it involves being underwater and we have
pictures of fish,
we thought this would be a good spot for the photo. It also
offers a nice warm relief after seeing the cold, wet picture
above. SCUBA diving is a great sport & hobby and offers an
incredible view and workings of the oceans and waters that
we take for granted while fishing and sailing about.
Diving is one
of our hobbies |
