I really thought you lost your gaff the second time the fish went back down. I have halibut envy now.

Grab that thing!
Good thing your gaff stuck. Thought you were going to lose it.
Nice video. I know you wanted to be careful and not farm that beauty. My friend, there are times (I know halibut have teeth), when you have to put away your girly tools and say f-it, and grab it by it's gills! Nice fish. |

I have to say...
- after watching many of your halibut videos, I have never seen such consistent composure and success. Nice job Greg

I'm with Billy V on this. Completely cool in a clutch situation. One of the old school skippers I respect most, Capt. Ron Baker, told me you always want to gaff the halis, especially the big ones, right in the gut. Even though its not the spine it acts to paralyze them and they almost always gape their mouth wide open. Just like in the video. Mike
