Skarnsundet Fishblog

On our day off, me and Tom had a go for......yes, the halibut! The drift was quite strong and it was hard to fish depths of about 40 meters. We went a little shallower and caught some nice cod on a whole herring. Coalfish started to show up on the surface and I switched to a pirk. When it hit the bottom I had a fish on straight away. I couldn´t move it and then it took about 40 meters of line with the first run. Now I was sure that this fish was a halibut, we even had to follow it with the boat. It took about 10  minutes untill it came to the surface and, well, it was a foul hooked 9 kilo cod. I have to admitt that I was a little diappointed, but in the end it was still a beautilful fish, which really fighted hard. Here it is.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers, Kevin
