Great vid very interesting underwater perspective, showing the bite behaviour of the fish, gives you a better understanding of what is happening at the end of your line. Thanks well done
Fantastic video, reminds me of my trip to Homer, Alaska for halibut. Thanks for bringing back the memories. We got some big ones out of the Homer Spit.
Good stuff. Interesting how when it was fighting hard, puffed up with its dorsal fin cocked, you could almost see what it would have looked like back in time before it evolved into the sideways swimming halibut we all know and love. Fascinating.
Awesome video! When the GoPro slid by it's big eyes & across it's back & then it had one eye on the camera & one eye on the bait! That footage turned out so good!
Woah that's a big fish! It looked smaller under water. Thanks sooo much for this video. Not a lot out there like this one. Just imagine if we could all have a camera on the line. It would be a game changer!
LOL!!!.... awesome piece of video... really gotta love the detail on how that fish looked over the bait long before it nailed it... do some more... thank you
Thought about doing that myself, pretty awesome! At the beginning of the video I thought is was more like 'Rock Sole' fishing with a GoPro. I noticed the Sole left in a hurry.
Fish has to listen to them say "you wanna keep him or not?" after fighting his heart out. Just like the gladiators in Roman days waiting for the thumbs up or down. Great video, I got my share of halibut this summer outside of Homer
Wow! This is a totally cool video clip! Sure seems like they respond better to the bait when it’s being bounce or moved along the bottom... I’ll keep it in mind next time I’m fishing off my favorite point in Baja.. Thanks! BTW: Nice fish!
Stellar video! A buddy of mine did that out in California when the GoPro's first came out. 50% of the time the Halibut would hit the torpedo sinker and not the bait...lmao! Our fish are little farts in comparison. Nice job!
Seth rigged GoPro Hero with a sport spreader bar, black tape, commercial genyon(gangion), stainless steel wire then just aimed it at the hook. Estimated depth at 90 feet. Sunny, bright day no lighting rigged. Hook baited with salmon. Twenty recording attempts before getting this footage. Fish was 60-ish pounds. Lost his GoPro a week later on a bigger fish. (I submit, we viewers, crowdsource some funds for Seth to continue his AWESOME quest!)
Caught a 181# with K-Bay out of Homer years ago first timer. Now I know what was going on down there. Every time the rod tapped the boat railing, the fish dived. Capt Scott coached me good. Was like reeling in a palette of plywood.
Wicked vid mate, loved the way the smaller fish was harassing the bait for ages and then the biggun showed up like the opening scene of Return of the Jedi :D Don't worry about all the bleeding hearts who can't stand the sight of an animal being dispatched (and in a completely humane and acceptable way) but are probably quite happy to buy battery eggs and cheap bacon. Hope it tasted great :)
that is such a freaking cool video!!! pretty work!!!
deermeatfordinner no way is this dmfd befor you got UA-cam famous
oh my gosh no way
Hey dmfd getting my first silver stag for Christmas, great present because next summer I’m moving to Alaska. Should come up there and fish more often!
That was neat. It was a lot bigger than I thought once you had people for perspective. Good video.

Pretty awesome video thanks for sharing.
The sound of the drag on the reel is awesome
Amazing footage.. When he approached the field of view I was like NO WAY!
Impressive.....I love fishing but never seen anything like this. Awesome!
this is seriously the coolest underwater halibut video I've seen. great job! sketchy when he almost went around the anchor
Awesome video. I've gone halibut fishing a few times and had no luck. I enjoyed this video, thanks.
LOL! The Go Pros getting bitch slapped by the halibut.
I am mentally traumatized for life now. Looked like i got punched in the face like 30 times in 5 seconds, for the entire 30 second run!
That was one of the coolest fishing videos I’ve ever witnessed!

That was great. I’ve caught so many but never watched it on TV! Thanks.
This brings a whole new meaning to fish finder. Great video! Excluding the 324 tree hugger's, who now have nightmares.
haha a+
Add some professional orchestra sound to it and it would the number one horror movie of the year,
Nice catch, and thanks for the view. Its videos like these that make efficient anglers. Again thanks and good job!

Cool vidio, thanks for posting it! Halibut look like they put up a good fight.
Thought about doing that myself, pretty awesome! At the beginning of the video I thought is was more like 'Rock Sole' fishing with a GoPro. I noticed the Sole left in a hurry.

One of the best videos on UA-cam.
sweet footage, that's a crazy angle
That's an awesome idea. Cool to watch!
great fish and great video man! one hell of a sight
Picks the go pro back up to show the blugering with the deadblow hammer... love it! Great vid!

BTW: Nice fish!
Awesome video! It was interesting how easy it is to hear the reel running and winding, all the way on the bottom
I love halibut!! Great video!
Awesome! It looked small underwater then when you pulled it on deck it was a nice size!
That was....very very cool!
This is an awesome video and interesting too. Very informative 👍🏼
Some great shots there. Nice fish too.
DANM IT LOOKED SMALLER UNDER WATER. GREAT POV.
TMXPOZURZ ,,,,,,,,,,,, were Bill and Ben under the water?😎
Super cool. Great video.
Wow! Pretty cool video! Thanks for sharing man!
Trying to get halibut from my local jetty. You guys make it look so easy.
Wow that's an amazing video!
cant believe i watched that whole thing! it was very entertaining !!
I really really liked this. Thanks
Awesome vid man!!
Stellar video! A buddy of mine did that out in California when the GoPro's first came out. 50% of the time the Halibut would hit the torpedo sinker and not the bait...lmao! Our fish are little farts in comparison. Nice job!
That was awesome!
The best footage! Nice catch
Thank you!
That was amazingly fascinating, I start to feel a little bad for the fish, then I remember how good they taste, bad feeling gone.
I'm sure that feeling was hunger...
Badass! Nice work!
I've always liked this video
that's a lot of FIGHT! Great job, awesome Hero set up.
you know your not going to be release when the red hammer comes out. The Last minutes of the Halibut.. I like that title!!!
Trouta Holic p
That was some really cool underwater footage. New sub!
Oh man it's so cool how the audio telegraphs exactly what's going on topside with the reel.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Nothing like breaded pan fried halibut cheeks.

AMAZING I LOVE THIS VIDEO !
Wow, nice, that halibut ran pretty good, all the halibut I've caught so far put no fight at all, just dead weight.
Excellent really enjoyed your video, thank you
Awesome video. Halibut saw the camera and was like....Not sure what you are, but I am going for it !
The best Video I ever seen! Greetings from Germany
Very Cool! Watched that recovering from surgery on percosets. Highly recommend that!
Thanks for sharing this. It was neat. I sure would like to come visit you folks in Alaska but i don't know if I'll ever be able to.
Great vid!
Dude awesome video.
that. was. AWESOME!!!
Amazing!!
Awesome footage
Awesome video man so sick
super cool vid
Dam i miss eating halibut...best fish ever...lived in Alaska 41 years...miss it..need to jig that line
Awesome video.
A lot bigger than I thought, Nice!
Caught a 181# with K-Bay out of Homer years ago first timer. Now I know what was going on down there. Every time the rod tapped the boat railing, the fish dived. Capt Scott coached me good. Was like reeling in a palette of plywood.
I love fishing for tuna like that. They're only decent table fare. But they're awfully fun to catch--especially when they school!
That's pretty awesome!
That was nuts!
Very cool!
Wicked footage! Always wondered what was going on down there.
Dude! That was bad ass!
Good job awesome fish
Very nice!
Ingenuity at its finest bro nice fish
Now that's a neat video.
Awesome video! You can only get better video by diving. I cant wait to drop my GoPro down and hook up. That rig you used is amazing.
Nice work that is great footage
Wicked vid mate, loved the way the smaller fish was harassing the bait for ages and then the biggun showed up like the opening scene of Return of the Jedi :D
Don't worry about all the bleeding hearts who can't stand the sight of an animal being dispatched (and in a completely humane and acceptable way) but are probably quite happy to buy battery eggs and cheap bacon. Hope it tasted great :)
