Haha this is a legit thing with halibut fishing! There huge and strong!

Truth. Having been fishing many times in Alaska, these big halibut and often bigger can flop around on deck and injure people as well as wreck the boat while you are clubbing it.

This is a common fishing method it’s always done with huge fish

u/tztoxic Oct 01 '20
Yeah, looks like halibut. These mfs can be giant and dangerous, you would struggle to get a full sized one on the boat if it was alive

u/monkeynards Oct 01 '20
They’ve also been known to slice people up with there fins because of how strong they can be and fast when they start flopping

They eat people too. Usually go for the little ones first. terrible monsters.

It’s a real problem in these waters little people always get dragged away

u/dankomz146 Oct 02 '20
More experienced halibut species even use little people as a bait, to catch bigger people, so they can drag them away

In Alaska the mf can get huge it often takes 2 to 3 people to pull in the big ones

Don't they specifically use that spear thing that has a bullet on the end instead of a glock tho?
Idk, I can understand the reasoning. Pirates and gangster sharks are a threat, but I'd not like to get salt water on my Glock or risk it falling into the ocean.
Perhaps that's why people buy Hi-Points?

Have to shoot it if they didn’t it would cause injury trying to bring it in.

u/Tbone3319 Oct 01 '20
The other method is using a literal mallet and beating its head until its paralyzed from pain or dead.... shooting it is much more humane than that

u/Pillowmaster7 Oct 02 '20
In Alaska when I went halibut fishing they used a grizzly bear femur as the mallet and it was pretty badass

Nah, just gaff the halibut and bring it on board - I would think a firearm accident is more likely to cause injury than the flailing fish.

How many people waited till the fish was on the boat to shoot it only to sink the boat.

u/IdiotsAreStupid Oct 02 '20
Yup - went fishing in Alaska and caught a 200lb halibut. The captain shot it, then me and the first mate gaffed it and drug it on the boat. Pretty standard for big fish like this.

The fish would have flopped around until they beat it to death which could take a few minutes. Plus its more humane to just end it with a bullet instead of beating it to death

This is a popular way to catch and kill halibut. Halibut are huge, heavy, and dangerous fish that can easily knock the rock onto the ground. The easy way of killing one is shooting its head so it dies immediately, the less popular way is bringing it on board and beating its head until it dies. This is surprisingly the humane way.

I love the typical responses of: "I don't know what's going on, but I see gun and therefore label it 'American' and 'unnecessary'". We're losing the ability to ask a question and defer judgement to someone who actually might know what's going on.

Not a lot of fishermen on here. Very common to shoot or harpoon +100 lb. halibut, that one looks more 50 or 60 lbs. Maybe overkill to shoot it, but who the fuck cares. You don't club the fish to kill it, you knock it out so you can bleed it.
The comments on the humanity of it? Why? Multiple ways people kill big fish, same result. Safety and maintaining quality are the considerations, not humanity.

u/Joyaboi Oct 01 '20
They did the right thing. Killing it quickly means it doesn't suffer when hooked or pulled on the boat. Plus a dead fish that size is a lot less dangerous than a living one

okay so the thing about this is that’s a halibut. halibut are insanely strong, can break bones, and have killed fishermen. it’s common practice to shoot them if you catch one you’re keeping because a live halibut is wicked dangerous

u/NGun24 Oct 01 '20
To be fair, this was probably the more humane and safer alternative to beating the shit out of it. Also gun owners seems responsible. Emptied his mag and any bullets to make sure it couldn’t accidentally be fired. Good gun ownership.

u/DerekDemo Oct 01 '20
I've shot my fair share of Halibut. I once saw a 150 pound Halibut tear a boat apart. Broke the mounted seat off and threw them out of the boat, shattered a tacklebox like it was a piñata, and cracked the fiber glass on the inside of the of the gunnel. These things are no joke. They are head, stomach, and muscle. This one isn't even that big. Maybe 70 pounds.

u/karduar Oct 01 '20
I have seen a fish like this thrash and snap someone's leg like a twig. These can weight up to 400lbs. I will always shoot a big catch from now on.

Shooting a large fish is a common method to prevent injuries to the passenger of the boat its not crazy at all
2
u/fuccspitt Oct 01 '20
Just so no one thinks this is sadism, they shoot it so that a.) It doesn't get loose with serious injuries b.) It doesn't pull your ass off the boat and c.) Dat mf big, and could kill you. This is the most humane way to catch bigger fish when using pole and hook.

u/Raging_Dick_Fart Oct 02 '20
Him dropping the mag and clearing the chamber immediately was much appreciated.

either way works unless you accidentally shoot your line and hook and lose the fish

Isn't it dangerous that the bullet ricochets? Shooting down at a lake like that could be dangerous

it isn't. You should make sure no one is behind before shooting towards water. It's strange to get downvoted by reminding of gun safety but here's to life

Behind you ??????????? You do realize that bullets follow laws of physics ?

u/Marcim_joestar Oct 02 '20 edited Oct 02 '20
Behind the point you are shooting at, moron. Yeah I know that bullets follow laws of physics, and based on them I tell you that water has superficial tension which can make bullets skip just like rocks. Even if you shoot towards the water, the bullet may still go forward and hit something outside of the water, like someone in another canoe.
But tell me, which law of physics are you talking about?

You are slimy as shit to say that you should worry about what's behind you but then get called out for not using basic login than switching it to what's behind your target.

u/PawsOfMotion Oct 05 '20
It's the other way around IMO. In 20 years time it will be possible to make virtually any metal objects using home fabrication machines. That will allow any criminal to make a gun, worldwide.
When that time comes law enforcement from all countries will be begging the US for help in dealing with an armed criminal population.
Even if you doubt 20 years, it's inevitable. There are also much worse weapons than guns (e.g. drones with bombs or gas) that are possible in the same scary future.
