have any of you guys ever tried to hog tie a halibut? some of the guys up here (norcal) say that's the best way to keep them from flappin around after they are landed. I havent tried it yet but will likely do it this year after a rogue hali tried to chomp my jewels off last year on the paddle in.

game clip/rope to the jaw, rope to the tail, keep them in a U shape and wrap the tail several times. then secondary clip their jaw to your boat to prevent it from jumping off.
