We had to shoot this HUGE fish for our safety (100 Pounder!)
Last day in Alaska. Got the chance of a lifetime to target some of the most massive fish on the West Coast. Had a 40 Caliber Glock on board in case we came across a "barndoor" Halibut. If these massive fish flop around on deck they can easily break a leg or cause a serious injury. The goal was to incapacitate the fish so it would flop around with 5 people on board. Their slime makes everything slippery and very dangerous if flopping around on board especially out at sea. What an amazing trip. Will try to visit again next season!

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzhead.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Oh my goodness, what an amazing catch.

Damn thx
Fuck these guys wtf do you mean by oUr SafETy that fish was just living his life you decided to kill it so even if you die catching it it's your fault
@@shubhammeena1346 Well, I can’t say it was completely justified or really even get into the logistics of the whole thing due to my lack of experience and general knowledge on fishing. That being said, they shot it for their safety because if they bring it on board, a fish that massive could cause serious injury as it flops around within the enclosed space of the boat. Like, it could even break someone’s leg. So the logic here was simply that it’s better to kill it instantly rather than prolong its suffering and risk it injuring someone. But again, this is coming from someone who doesn’t know too much about fishing so...
thanks
@@shubhammeena1346 just say you hate meat and hunting lmao. It's less words.
as a fisherman, shooting it was 100 percent the right thing to do, imagine that fish jumpin around in the boat, would’ve broken some bones, part of the boat, knocked in the rods, along with plenty of gear, that is a ton of money, down the drain, and the fish would’ve probably escaped anyways, all that gear lost, just for the fish to escape, that’s about 100 pounds of fish, gone, just like that.
These Einsteins are out there with no life jackets as well. Get whacked with a fish that big and go unconscious, and fall overboard...it's over especially if the other fishermem are injured or wresting the darn thing too. Absolutely warranted but for the love of Pete, get some life jackets. The technology has come a long way since the huge square orange atrocities. They are so comfortable now, no reason to not have them.
Then as a fisherman you would know halibut are probably the weakest and least fighting fish there is so I’ll tell you that halibut would t of moved
@@sz6738 I don’t fish for halibut, I’m a Florida fisherman, I just know that fish coulda done some damage

Most of the fish in Alaska get much larger due to the large amounts of alge, bait fish, and oxygenated water levels around the ice. Or at least thats what my charter guide said
I’m not sure water levels are a huge part but the algae and bait fish are definitely possible

My Mom lived in Ketchikan the last part of her life before she died on Jan 9th 2000. She was a very young 55 years old. I never knew the exact reason why she ended up there until much later after her death from my Brother and that was because as a young girl, she might have been 18 or 19 so when she visited Ketchikan and fell in love with the location and maybe even with some guy, a combination of the two perhaps. I may never know the real reason why. One thing is for sure and that is my Mom loved living in Ketchikan. My Mom also deeply loved the ocean and loved fishing even more. There are photos of my Mom in a wet suit as a young beautiful woman it the mid 1960's when she went diving for abalone. When I was 15 until around the age of 17 before moving out of the house, we moved from Dallas to Topeka Kansas. There we spent many later nights and early morning fishing for Catfish at the heated dock at Lake Shawnee in Topeka, Kansas. I have a few memories that are bother sad and heart warming at the same time. Thank you for the video and especially when you mentioned this was Ketchikan AK. She would have loved this video. If anyone reading this remembers a Frona Gene Watkins from Ketchikan from about 1991 to 2000, that was my Mother.

1.) Everything in this video was done very professionally. 2.) His handling of the Glock was done responsibly. 3.) It was either shoot it or bludgeon it to death on the boat. 4.) I am a vegetarian & this didn't offend me in the slightest. This is responsible/sustainable fishing

Yup and they taste better
Why would this ever offend you even if you are vegetarian? It’s not like they shot u, actin like anyone even cares if u got offended

The halibut I think is fine. But when we talk about overfishing, the ling cod and rock fish can take up to 50 years to grow so big. I used to see about 100 boats minimum with 6 people fish these areas every day for the entire summer season. Needless to say, these fish wont be around for people to fish if this continues.

For starters I don’t like when people abuse any animals including fish that they are catching. This fish was going to be kept and ate. So shooting it was actually ok with me. Otherwise you’re bringing him on board and watching him suffocate. And probably beating him with a club. Might as well make it quick and painless.
Best comment got 4 likes. People evil. Yeah good to shoot the fish.. but I stil don't understand what was the danger for the people 🤔
@@rdnlvanallesnogwat3759 imagine 36 kilos of fish jumping into your face. That can harm a lot.
@@rdnlvanallesnogwat3759 well tbh it was probably also for the fishes sake, instead of beating it or cutting it they ended it very quickly and painlessly
Never thought about that last part.
in fairness to the fishermen, when they bonk the fish it is immediately dead. it's when people pull up fish and then just cut the gills without killing the fish that is cruel.

I lived and fished in Alaska for 20 years. Any halibut over 20-30 pounds was shot as a matter of course. A flopping halibut can break a leg as it flops around on the deck.
Thanks for adding to the conversation. Still waiting on a sensible counter argument from other people in the comment thread. What you said makes sense to me. 100lbs of pure muscle just smacks your leg I'm sure that will screw you up.
