Good eating

First day of season catch

Forgive the ignorance of a guy from the middle of the middle west, but what are those?

Flounder?

Halibut

Very cool. How do you catch them? What do they weigh?

My son catches them. Trawls. The one he is holding is 117 lbs. The others are around 70

Thanks. Pretty interesting.

Nice, One of the Best eating fish I've had , I've only caught 1 that hadn't been eaten by dogfish in 20 some years.

Yes. I think they are the best eatin fish around.

Excellent eating.

Grilled halibut steaks are great.

My favorite fish to eat all time. Spent a couple of summers in Alaska and got hooked on that fish. Too rich for my blood now. Great catch

Were those caught in the Atlantic? If so I didn't know they were there. I thought they were a Pacific fish.

Yes. The Atlantic. Right off the Maine coast.

Why id one all white and the others darker ?

The white is the bottom side. The brown is the top side lol.

Nice fish

Best fish Iv'e ever eaten. When fresh, best of any.

Nice work, you rock.

How far off shore ?
Grand Banks ?

Nice little guys, should be tasty.

Super flounder very nice boys. Big one over a 100 lbs?

You’re living the dream. Nothing like halibut.

I fished for them all three times I hunted in Alaska. They are the best tasting fish to be had. When you get into them thick, your line never makes it to the bottom without a halibut taking it. Sometimes I’d use a big lure with a treble hook on each end. More than once, I’d hook up two fish at once. A couple hours of halibut fishing will wear you out when you get find them. The ten pounders were the best eating.

Couple miles offshore

Not flounder, Halibut and yes. Over 100.

Fishing for them with rod and reel sounds like lots of fun.
