Evidently it is considering this picture was taken with a fish on the deck, lmao.

I have some pictures around somewhere from commercial fishing AK when I was 16 and have a 200+ class hali in there, I will try and dig them out.

Commercial fishing stories are scary... Butts..... Biggest one I've had my hands on was 378# dressed. It was a shooter. No pics from back then, we were just trying to stay alive and film on a boat was a b!tch. No to mention a cammera made about 2 months before it fell apart.

What is this the "hawg of the day thread" or "hawgs from old long lost pictures" thread?? I'm sure if you tried to reel in a 300lb halibut it would just pull your scrawny arse overboard.....[lol] [lol]


Why did you post this in the river fishing section again? I am cunfuzzed.....[huh]

Can I post an old pic of my uncle?
He has went on many charters out of San Diego,
hes caught a 6 foot mako shark, mahi mahi, blue fin tuna,barracuda, and many more.
