Fishing in Seward






One of the top things we wanted to do was fish in Seward. We chartered a boat and departed at 6:30 AM. We wanted to catch halibut and silver salmon. We almost hit our limit on both and we caught a lingcod as a bonus. Lingcod grow at a rate of 1 pound per year, our captain estimated this guy was around 70-80#. We also caught a stingray, a shark, lots of pollock and black cod. The black cod and pollock we threw back but we kept over 120# of halibut and salmon.

Wow - that Lingcod thing is the craziest looking fish I've ever seen.
