Jap Halibut Hooks
In One Out Of
Every Six Caught
The Japanese “very definitely
were fishing halibut in the eastern
Bering Sea before it was legal for
them to do so,” according to Jack
Knudsen, engineer aboard the hali
but schooner Grant, which put into
port here early this week.
“They definitely were fishing
using long lines, said the 23-year
old brother of Grant Skipper Don
Knudsen, adding, “about one out
of every six halibut we caught had
Jap hooks imbedded in them. Ap
parently in this first year of their
halibut operation they are using
poor gear and lost much if it due
to parting lines.’’
The Bering Sea was covered with
gear” this season, according to
Knudsen who said they got a good
load their first trip but didn’t do
very well thereafter ... a pattern
for the entire halibut fleet this
year apparently.
The Grant is a 68 foot schooner
which ordinarily would have six
or seven men aboard but this sea
son, using deck controls, has a crew
of four. Another brother, Peter

Knudsen, 19, is a deck hand, as is
Dick Rowe, 23. With the 27-year-old
skipper the Grant probably has
the youngest crew in the fleet.
Before coming to Area 3A (Ko
diak) the Grant fished the Bering
Sea and fished as far west as 100
miles off the Probilof Islands this
season. She had engine troubles
and was forced to put into Kodiak
and was worked on at Alvine’s Ma
rine Ways while here.
Another halibut vessel, the
Lucky Star, skippered by Art Rar
vik, arrived here Wednesday after
experiencing a breakdown on the
trip across the Gulf which required
her to be towed into Cordova by
the USOG Cutter Sedge.
Crewmen aboard the Lucky Star
are Jeck Fenswick (whom many
may recall fishes salmon in Bristol
Bay and crab in Kodiak, George
Johnson, Burt Isakson, Haakon
Jenson and Art Smaaladen.
