Hell yeah I would, that's food for the whole year!

Gonna have to say keep. Not a record. Far from it as the record is like 450lbs+. My fish!!

nope. i'd figure out how to get a good pic though and then release it. a couple 40-60 lbers would be ideal.

If I dropped serious $$ on an Alaskan fishing trip you better believe I'm keeping it.

As a good friend once said "this is a kill boat"

If I spent big bucks getting up to alaska I'd keep it - Unless that free trip was the very next day, or while I was still up there. In that case I'd take the trip and bring home smaller fillets...

If it was the first day of a week long trip I might cut it loose and keep several smaller fish later in the trip. It would also depend on if I even had storage space for some thing like that.

I've heard folks say that the bigger pacific halibut are not the best to eat but when I was working AK one of our guys landed a 180 lb-er and I was delicious.
