Thanks for the comment and joining us Leslie! It must be the camera perspective. We legally must retain all halibut that meet the minimum 32" size. Throwing back smaller legal sized halibut in order to keep larger ones is called highgrading and is illegal.

Could you do a video on the knots you use for crabbing? I add different length here and switch lead lines from shrimp to crab pots. Do you just use a half hitch to connect to pot and bouy? I have big loops and have to pass the length of rope through but it can be challenging with 400ft for shrimp

@EISAlaska 3 жыл бұрын

We will try to do a video on some of the different knots we use. In the meantime try a sheetbend. Here is an example www.animatedknots.com/sheet-bend-knot. That will work good for crabline, just use caution when bringing it through the block, as it may want to pop out.

Is there a " slot" that you are allowed to keep or is it just over 35"? If so, what has been the largest Halibut to be landed by EIS? Enjoy following your adventures.

@EISAlaska 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Michael. Any halibut over 32" can be retained and high grading is illegal. We don't really target larger fish because the smaller ones work best for our market, but I would say 200 pounds round weight is probably the largest we have landed.

Why don't you hold onto the undesirable fish like the shark and toothed flounder to use for bait?

Anything that's not dead we put back. Most the time the stuff we catch is too much trouble to deal with for using as bait. The sharks dull our blades, and honestly we don't catch many flounder. We mostly use beat up cod when we get them.

Are you guys restricted to areas designated on a license? Or do you just fish where it is generally most productive? Do you turn the fish light side up to help them stay cooler and fresher until the statistics are recorded in your log and they go on ice?

@EISAlaska 3 жыл бұрын

Hi whoknots. Our permit is for area 3A, which extends west of Cape Spencer to the south end of Kodiak Island, so basically the central Gulf of Alaska. We flip the fish over to keep the blood from pooling on the white side, maybe more habit from the derby days prior to IFQ. That is also the side that is always up when we clean and measure them, so we flip them over that way from the beginning to make it easier to handle later.

@cls9876 3 жыл бұрын

Why do you flip the halibut over belly side up when in the catch tray? Do they bleed better?

A silly question, why are throwing back what look to be perfectly good fish? I know there size limits but some of those that were thrown back looked pretty decent size.

@EISAlaska 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Dennis, great question. The legal size limit is 32" and up. We measure all the fish that are close so we don't unwittingly throw over legal fish that could be retained. High-grading is illegal in the halibut IFQ fishery, and it makes more work to reset gear to catch fish you could have kept.

They don't have an air bladder, so there is no barotrauma. It is very important to release them carefully and minimize the amount of time out of the water. That is why we shake the undersize fish right away and get them back into the water.
