Yep! For some reason the fish doesn't get as nuts compared to a gaff! I usually try to stone them in the brain on the first shot! But most of the time I dispatch a fish with my bat, most of us here in Hawaii use it, we call it a "kage" it works great and some guys only use the kage instead of a gaff! I use both tho, I like to sink my gaff into its head right after the kage shot!!! Hate to try and gaff a large fish trashing next to me and miss, putting a hole in the side of my yak! IMHO it's easier to pull up a 50+ pound fish with a gaff in my yak too!
