Crackerjack Sportfishing Catch fact
August 30th, 2008
Crackerjack Catch fact: Most halibut caught by sportfishing anglers on charters in Alaska average around 25 - 40 lbs. About 15% of all halibut caught by anglers on the Crackerjack charter boats weigh over 80 lbs. On our Seward halibut charters, about 10% of the fish we catch are over 100. Halibut over 200 are less common. We catch only a handful that size and larger each season. We are certain that these catch rates are among the best in Alaska. http://www.crackerjackcharters.com/halibut-fishing.html Since the largest halibut are so rare and are breeding females, we encourage fishermen lucky enough to catch a real monster to release them. Survival rates are very high for released halibut.
