aim for belly , to immobilize the fish , keep his head in water before gaffing . its strange sometimes they almost just float to the surface , unless hooked in throat obviously, other times they just go ape shet . keep gaff pointed away from you at all times , these fish are solid muscle . picture a halibut slashing around the deck with a gaff in it . good luck .
