Fighting with halibut

Here are few interesting photos taken from a long line fishing tour in Iceland where the fisherman are fighting with a giant halibut on the right side of the boat. Sometimes the halibuts are tight with a strong rope to the boat and pulled all the way to the shore. Usually the fisherman manage to pull them onboard. It all depends on the size and weight of the halibut and how many men are on the boat.
