$10,000 Halibut

[homedawg]

The Seward Small Boat Harbor was abuzz the evening of June 24 as Tim Berg of Soldotna presented his 319.6 pound hum-dinger at the official weigh-in station.

Caught aboard the Grande Alaska, this behemoth has set a new high for the tournament, raising hopes for the appearance of more trophies in the days to come. Reportedly teased onto the vessel using 40-lb test and salmon gear, the catch is a testament to Seward fishing at its best.

Christopher Lafe of Wasilla now holds second with his 178-lb treasure, caught with Glacier Fishing Charters, and Jared Funk, of Auburn, New York, falls to third with his 173.7-pounder caught aboard Crackerjack Sportfishing Charters’ Crackerjack Voyager.

The 2008 Seward Halibut Tournament runs through June. The angler with the heaviest catch nets $10,000, with a $5,000 and $2,500 2nd and 3rd place prizes. In addition, , the angler bringing in the heaviest fish daily catch wins a seat on a June 2009 Seward-based halibut charter.
