We are in Seward, Ak for a few weeks. We decided to try some halibut fishing so we booked a charter and went out on the ocean for some deep sea fishing. The boat held 10 guests and it was funny because 8 out of the 10 of us were from Minnesota. It was a beautiful clear day on the water and we all caught lots of fish. We got our halibut -- the flat fish with the white belly. The biggest one caught weighed over 80lbs. Jim and I caught 20 and 30 lb. halibut which was plenty for us. Jim also caught several salmon and we both caught lots of rockfish. The crew on board the boat (in the picture) did a great job keeping us fishing and helping net or gaff the fish. They also cleaned the fish as part of the price of the charter.
We got to see humpback whales while we were out to sea. They came out of the water and dropped back in the water and it looked like they were waving their giant flippers at us. They were too far away and too quick to get any pictures. We've been eating our fish and the halibut is very mild tasting although we don't understand why its worth $27.00 per pound in the store.
