of water is what we fished today..... it takes a long time to reel up fish. we caught a good amount of golden tile fish.

I can't imagine fishing that deep. I thought the halibut in AK were deep. WOW

Wow, you must have run 105 miles out to get that deep!

I have caught halibut in 50 ft near Kodiak, but usually fished around 125 to 150.

We fished them late season off Seward AK in 450 ft. Hammered some nice ones though. I got all mine on jigs which was fun. They and the lingcod, rockfish really hit.

we ran about 90 miles... this was shake down trip for the 33ft cat my buddy traded into. being able to run 50 mph is nice... granted today it was beautiful almost flat.

now i know why they make electric reels.

How long does it take to reel in 1050' of line? Is there not a machine that would aid in this? How is your phuggin tendonitis? What is a Golden tile fish and how does it taste?

If my questions are irritating or inappropriate let me know but I actually find this very interesting. 90 miles offshore is a long way in a small boat. It really does sound like a lot of fun.

Congratulations!! Those are stunning fish. Awesome the cold body temp of these deep water fish. Taste wonderful.

had some raw cleaning them.

pics and video later after my buddy uploads them. pic off the net.

Wow!!! Thanks for sharing.

Great job on the fish,they are great. And a cat is a sweet ride,congrats to your buddy.

plan is swordfish next wens.

we were dropping 5 hook rigs with 5lb weights.

Stunning is right!

Did a similar trip out of Seward. Jigging for halibut in 400+ feet of ocean water. It's a long haul coming back up.
Reeling up 1000' is work.

dang thing looks like an alien creature.

I've fished for Rock Cod that deep at the channel islands off California, Gang hooks and a five pound weight.
Can wear your arm out bringing them up, but smoked they are worth the work.

Got muscles like Popeye.

Thought you were going to talk about the USS Enterprise which was also 1050ft long.

Cool looking fish!

Yeah. That fisch looks kinda weird too.

That’s deep! There’s only a few areas around here where you could fish deeper that 350 feet! memtb

Good times, Rog.

Cool Roger !

Beautiful fish and any time on the water fishing is better than......well just about anything.

However......there ain’t nothing fun reeling up 5# of weight from a 1000 feet deep. 😫. I’ve fished halibut at 500+ feet deep and miscellaneous bottom fish in Hawaii at 750+.

really like this cat.

That surely does look like a lot of fun!

I bet those fishies dont have bug eyes at 1000 feet.

Tile fish are fantastic eating !

Very cool, thanks for sharing. And here I thought I fish deep when I go 300' - 400' for Yelloweyes and Halibut.
