North Pacific Halibut Fishing
Pacific Halibut, a member of the Flounder Family of fish, are unique in that they have a biological characteristic that only the Flounder Family has. When Halibut are first hatched from the egg they swim upright and have one eye on each side of their head like all other species of fish. At about five weeks of age and one inch in length, one eye "migrates" over the top of the head so that both eyes are on the same side of the head. At this time the Halibut "lays over" on its' side with both eyes on the upward or top side. As the Halibut grows the under-side becomes white, the top-side becomes a mottled darker variation of colors resembling the bottom of the sea, and their body flattens into an oval shape: thus the nickname "Flatfish".
