Ninilchik fishing for Halibut

Our boat is ready to be launched. This big tractor takes it out to sea by hooking to our trailer and letting it loose. When we came back, it was waiting for us to drive right back on.  As you can tell by the picture, it was not a hot sun-shiny day. Temps in the 50's and misting.

Bob's first fish was not as big as he would like, so he told the captain to let it grow up some more. We all caught fish that we threw back in, hoping for bigger ones. We were allowed 2 each or 12 total. We got our quota and one for the captain.

This was my biggest catch and the biggest so far until Bob started showing off.

Bob caught both of the 2 biggest fish. They weighed 30 pounds each. We all caught fish and all had a good time. We enjoyed our Captain Levi, too.

Back to shore, getting out of the boat. We were all kind of cold and ready to get back.

We were pretty proud of our catch. It was a good day for all of us.

Bob was happy to claim those 2 big ones, but we all caught nice ones and the small ones taste the best, they say. Our captain cleaned the fish for us. When we got the fish home, we used Joe & Sue's vacuum sealer, split up the fish and froze it in the freezer Joe bought.

This is our captain, Levi. He did a great job making our day fun and successful.
