The Halibut Hunter
Yakutat, Alaska
by Mike
Some halibut are so big you have to put a bullet in them before they come in the boat. If you were to net one and bring it in, it could break your legs or worse.
Once a boat was found floating adrift. In the bottom of the boat was a dead fisherman and a dead halibut – the halibut had killed the fisherman when it was brought aboard, then it suffocated on the deck.
The halibut pictured above was 120 lbs.
