Sure you can land a big fish w/o a gaff or net. YT and wsb are usually tired out.
Grab the yt by the mouth gills or tail and wsb under the gills and pull
Them in to your lap. A big halibut would be a nightmare nothing much to grab,
Slimey, powerful, and pissed off. Good luck to you.
But get a net and buy or make a gaff. Seriously. Mike
