Face to face with one of the halibut caught by Joe.
This ninety-eight pound halibut was mouth hooked by Joe and one other fisherman. According to the Captain, this is an extremely rare event. Ordinarily the catch goes to the winner of a coin toss. However, since the other fisherman was entered in the local halibut fishing derby, Joe
magnanimously gave up his claim to the fish, allowing the other man to claim second place in the derby up to that point.
Joe reveals the strain required to heft his 50 pound catch. According to Joe, reeling in this beauty was like hauling up a boat anchor...with the boat attached.
Joe displays his catch. On the left is the 50 pound halibut and on the right, the 40 pounder.
The "Outlaw" heads out to sea on dead calm waters. The boat in the background is on blocks, awaiting its turn in the dry dock.
