Cook Inlet also yields a bounty of Halibut and Cod that I've caught over the years. And yes they get worms from time to time- just pull 'em out.

Yes. Halibut, just like this beauty. My 14-year-old self named him Hal Booty. The red hole on his head that looks like an eyeball is an exit wound from a 22-gauge shotgun round. It was the only way to get him on the boat without him knocking someone overboard into 200 feet of icy water.
As we were leaving the harbor at 4 a.m., one of the guys on the boat said that women on a fishing boat are bad luck. Well, sir, I agree - it is bad luck for you that this 110-lb lunker picked my hook instead of yours.
