I was "crowbarrd" on the Zone, and since we moved, I decided to start fresh with a new handle.
Halibut Warriors we were called because we harpooned fish that were 80 to 300 lbs. before we put them onboard. We'd drag them around till they bled out and became docile enough to handle. The "Halibut Warrior" was the name of my first boat, actually a 18' skiff that I started my fishing career in Alaska in 1978 as my own Captain. People started calling me that so I painted the name on my transom, like the big boys did.. Targeted halibut, herring, salmon, shrimp, crab, and hunted from it. I'm standing in it holding up a couple of red king crab in my avatar. Lots of memories, fish blood , hairball storms and stories for the campfire to share. Nuf said, lets go fishin'...Joe
