Hey folks,
Just got back from holidays, saw all the commotion about the double header go pro and thought I would get my Go pro vids up so people can enjoy and criticize as they please.
Before u do criticize please do so in a constructive way so we all can learn from it. I try my best to be a conservationist out there. unfortunately some rules that r in place make it a little diff to do so(ex. release large halibut without harm)
Id encourage everyone to keep footage of any large hali they release so it can be sent in to show how much harm is done to these fish. Ive always released large halibut after I determine if its an easy release or not.
Ive been on 5 trips this year and have 4 halibut over 100.....all with footage.
this one is 140lb. got two at 120 and a 250. Ill post as i get the videos uploaded.
I could have been a little quicker releasing this fish yes. I believe this Hali will be spawning this winter as I did a fairly good job getting it back. Ive also spent lots of time with halibut and know how tough they are. If they were a delicate fish, no I would have not lifted it out of the water to get a pic. I like pictures of my trophy fish, so if you don't like that part, skip over it!
cheers,
wooly
