ALASKA: Halibut Fishing (or Lack of)

Joe and Mike went Halibut fishing on Thursday.  They left super early (Mary packed their lunches because she is Supermom).  It was an all day fishing event.  I did get a text from Joe at about 10 in the morning saying that he caught the first fish but that it was just a Cod so they were going to use it as bait.  Later (much later), I received another text from Joe saying that the fishing was bad and that no one had caught anything.  By the time the boat headed to go back to Homer, Joe had caught a Halibut that he kept.  It was tiny.  The guys were disappointed but the weather was awesome as were the views!
