Records show that aboriginal people of the western coast of North America consumed halibut from ancient times. They made sturdy lines from twisted fibers of cedar, kelp, and animal sinews. Primitive hooks made from crooked cedar branches, lashed to one side with a barb of bone, and baited with octopus to attract and catch halibut.
