black cod longline trip, random pictures

[friesian_rain]

Just thought I would share a few pictures of our boat and a black cod trip. There's a few pics of downtown Juneau in there, too. The trip wasn't a big producer, only a little over 15,000 lbs in the round of black cod on a 100 skates of gear; between the whales stripping our gear and the grenadiers we didn't do so hot. Since I was working on the deck I couldn't take a lot of pictures of us really working, these pics are a bit boring. There's a couple of short video clips, only one actually has a couple black cod coming over the roller.... Here's the link to photobucket, I hope it works, haven't tried to share a link before :

Griff, right? It's amazing here ! But the rain, and the green-ness of it all :x it's enough to make someone run away :roll:

I'll be headed back out next month for halibut, hopefully I can get some better pics. What I didn't take pictures of was the days in between those nice weather days, not so nice out on the ocean, we had to leave our gear in the water and run 30+ miles back into the beach to stay out of the storm....
wooohoooo can't wait for those halibut cheeks yummmy
