Fairbanks, Alaska Posts: 212 | Haha! I saw these posts and just had to jump in. This past July I was fishing off of the shore down in Homer with a buddy. We were throwing large bait-hooks rigged with herring. We were targeting pollock, rockfish, and small halibut that hang around the shallower water. Anyway, we were having a great time pulling in one pollock after another and my friend glanced at his hook and saw that he needed new bait. When he went to "reload" he got a closer look at the hook and saw that he actually had caught a halibut! Needless to say, it was only about the size of a nickel. Even so, he did better than me halibut wise that day...We still can't quite figure out how it hooked itself because it was hooked through the lip... :) | |

Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611 | OK, if we are going to post pics of pretty little ones, I'll have to put more up on here from the Pine River, which grows some mighty pretty little rainbows and brookies... Jonathon | |
No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||

Posts: 319 | In that setting, I could stand around catching 3 inch grayling on dry flies all day long (and then get up excited to get back to it the next day!) That's the thing about trout/other salmonids:the bigger ones are......bigger, but the little parr-marked ones are almost always prettier. | |
