Alaska Charter Fishing at Prince of Wales Island | Northwest Fishing TV #61

On today's episode, Captain Gary Anderson and Victoria Anderson put Northwest Fishing on some nice halibut and yelloweye during a fully guided Alaska Charter Trip with Anderson Lodge Alaska. Gary takes the crew out fishing on the west side of Prince of Wales Island north of Craig, Alaska on the hunt for big halibut.
Gary discusses his approach to how to find big halibut, conserving the various bottom fish species we catch, and the Anderson's philosophy on creating amazing outdoor adventures for their guests.

That’s the trip of a lifetime!

[@NorthwestFishingTV]

Indeed it was!

At 7:16 you can see one of those quill back rockfish floating dead on the surface. Maybe get the guide to actually use the descending device instead of just talking about it.

just about to say that

I went to school with Gary Anderson.

Great fishing.

Pretty disappointing to see the NWFR crew up there allowing non-pelagic rockfish to die on the surface due to lack of required tools, or laziness? . Can’t believe you didn’t even make an attempt to edit that out… Seems $ has taken place of advocacy!

[@joshvang8372]

So what does he mean about a $400 fish? Is that the extra cost you pay for catching such a big fish?

[@208flatheads3]

I think so if you go on a party/charter trip.. Alaska is a joke anymore. I'd rather just fish our oregon and Washington coast and go to Florida if I wanna go on a big trip
