- Alaska Halibut Fishing -- Valuable Tips and Tricks Worth Learning By:-chris howe
Alaska halibut fishing isn't so much a massive battle, as it is in simply dragging the fish to the surface. Big Alaska halibut are called "barn doors" and that's how they feel. It's just a huge weight, that sometimes shakes, and now and then heads itself back all the way down to the bottom once you've got hauled it up half of the way. Up and down, up and down. They are not like ling cod, where you have got to pay continuous, observant consideration to the line and not allow any slack to return into the line. You can take it easy and haul up the fish at your, because they're generally hooked fairly well.
