Nordkyn delivers halibut again!

Yesterday our halibut guide John and Albin our guide trainee went out on an introduction guiding with two German teams from Angelreisen. First they went out to some good cod areas and when they caught enough they went to one of our halibut areas.  At the first drifts no boat had any contact with halibut but suddenly a couple of fishermen had some bites and some minutes later Albin had a halibut on the hook. After a brutal fight and being up at the boat one time just to dive back down again John secured the halibut with the big shark hook with rope that we use. The halibut was 138cm long (according to the halibut length/weight list 36 kilo). On the next drift one of the German guests caught a smaller halibut and so did John, both was smaller than 80cm and was released to grow bigger. This night the two teams are back out again to catch more halibuts and big cods.

On our way out on barents sea.

Albin with his great halibut!
