Cool you guys planning a trip ?? had many of them Fly ins Northern Canada funny i found this thread i was actually going through my gear oiling reel the usual lol
Have friends in Alaska where we do some Halibut fishing once a year ,,, That just reminded me of a big one we caught gaft that fucker almost destroyed the boat .when we landed it i was like shoot the fucking thing
.and its 40 foot boat lol big time damage guys ..
Now anything over 80 pounds halibut he refuses to land his boat his laws
As for me done my fair share of fishing mostly land lock these days. but still pretty dangerous your water is so cold that if a person was to fall into it with out life suit , he be dead in 7 minutes ,Within 2 minutes your legs would curl up automatically ,
The lake is so big that once your out there its like being in the middle of the ocean no land in any direction ,, also
there is lots of islands if your fishing i guess close to land So
you need a scout cause you can get lost pretty easy ,, waves 6 - 12 feet out on this lake but its a party once a year 5 - 6 of us no women booze sitting by the fires watching the sun set smoking the Ganja
My buddies have tried getting me to go on one commercial fishing run . but fuck that could never get me on the Bering sea in winter .. I personally think that is a death wish cold wet and up 23 hrs a day hahaha
PS 55 pound laker catch n release
