so it appears that there are fish here that could potentially cause fatal incidents.
-
And what's interesting is that these fish are very unlikely villains.
-
We're not talking about the cold water sharks but giant halibut.
-
And I have to say, this is definitely a fish that I need to encounter myself.
-
The largest specific halibut ever.
-
Court was just under £500.
-
That's nearly three times what I weigh.
-
And therefore rations, predators, salmon, squid see girls and even seals have been found in their stomachs.
-
If you're in a small boat and you hook, one of these giant flatfish is possibly know the halibut that's going to end up as dinner.
-
Now, with this new suspect on my radar, I want to find out for myself how strong this beast really is.
-
Fishermen here just don't tangle with large live halibut, But I want to get a good look at this creature and then put it back alive.
-
This region around here looks a little bit like Jurassic Park.
-
Amazing fishing spot.
-
Very hard to believe.
-
That could be halibut here.
-
This isn't very deep.
-
I was going to say I can't wait to get a line in the water.
-
But what I've heard about some of these fish it's one of those moments where you're slightly hesitant about the process as well.
-
I'm using a large plastic jig on £100 braided line on dropping it onto the seabed.
-
Just 30 feet below the sea floor is the halibut domain, and I'm hoping to tempt a monster onto my line.
-
Yeah, so it doesn't take a long something on my own.
-
This is no big, but it's something on there.
-
It's not what I'm looking for.
-
It's a rockfish, one of the creatures I first saw when I was looking for sharks underwater, trying to rockfish a lot of fish showing up on the sonar.
-
So this was mid water, took the the flashing jig on the way down.
-
They're some of the longest living fish in these waters, reportedly reaching over 120 years old.
-
I want to quickly get this one back into these shallow waters.
-
Bye, reset.
-
And once again, after only a few minutes, I pull an unexpected but very curious creature.
-
Up to the surface.
-
Thing is a ling cod.
-
It's not a type of ling or even a card, but actually a green ling.
-
It looks a little bit similar to the snakehead I was after in Thailand.
-
Sharp teeth in that.
-
And just like the snakehead, it's a voracious hunter, impressive looking beast.
-
These smaller predators all attacked the lure with a similar bite.
-
But when I feel a much more savage pull on the line.
-
No, I know that's a halibut has taken the bait far off the second that hits the bait fish takes off with a turn of speed that catches me off guard turned into quite a powerful dive.
-
I'm getting a very disconcerting and characteristic knocking on the the road way These fish swim.
-
It's sort of up and down down movement.
-
Bringing this fission is going to be on almighty struggle.
-
Let's focus eyes way already.
-
I want to get this fish on board without injuring it.
-
I'm gonna go and just listen.
-
So what's the road, please?
-
All right, put down the gun.
-
Right.
-
It seems calm now.
-
Shall we go for it?
-
Okay.
-
Really?
-
Also Finn's language.
-
Okay, this is a big gala, but this is 120 pounds.
-
Heavy to lift.
-
Heavy to bring in on having seen this thing thrash on the surface, I can absolutely believe those stories when they kick off in a boat.
-
Damaging people we tend to think of flatfish is just food for us.
-
But this is absolutely way up the food chain.
-
This is a predator on def urine and he's out of that.
-
Just look at the size of the mouth and the teeth that will just engulf.
-
Then it's large tail on powerful musculature.
-
Give it explosive acceleration.
-
It is undeniably a very odd looking beast.
-
A sight hunter with two eyes on one side of its face is something I've never encountered in fresh water.
-
Though this one seems to have calmed down after coming into the boat.
-
I don't want to push my luck.
-
Okay.
-
When I came to Alaska, I wanted to find out if there is anything under the water that could be responsible for some of these cases of unexplained human disappearances.
-
And the answer is an unequivocal yes, that is a very large and powerful fish living around the river miles and inlets of this remote coastline.
-
In a fight with one of these, it would be perfectly possible for an unlucky fishermen to be dragged down on lost in cold coastal waters.
-
At least one, a fisherman is known to have been killed by a huge halibut, and they have long been treated with respect by native Alaskans.
-
In these hostile waters, storms and boating accidents do take many lives.
-
But hooking one of these monsters could also be surprisingly deadly.
-
And in fact, having heard, Although I have about this fish, I should consider myself very lucky to have walked away from my encounter unscathed.
