Dale and 180 pound halibut

On Thursday, South Dakota resident, Dale Jacobson, enjoyed his first time to Seldovia, and his first time halibut fishing!   Fishing with their family on board the Peggy -n- Me with Seldovia Fishing Adventures, Dale brought in a beautiful halibut.  The last fish of the day, weighed in at 180 pounds!  He exclaimed enthusiastically: “This was the biggest fish I’ve ever caught, and I am sure this is the biggest one I ever will!”

Dale’s brother-in-law, Paul Herman, also from South Dakota, had a lucky fishing day as well since he came in with a 115 pound halibut! “We had a really really good day!  Though the weather was a bit rough going out, it evened out and was a truly a fantastic day!”  This was Paul’s second time fishing with Seldovia Fishing Adventures.   “This has been a fabulous vacation, we’ve enjoyed it immensely.  It has been a great family trip, with my wife, parents and my sister and brother-in-law.  We will certainly let folks know about the great fishing in Seldovia!”

In speaking with Raewyn Weyer of Seldovia Fishing Adventures, she let me know that this 180 pound fish was their biggest fish caught this summer!  Congratulations gentlemen!  Obviously, your freezers will be well stocked for winter with more than Alaska memories!  Hope Raewyn sent you home with some great recipes!
