Killing a Halibut

[MrPatrick]

Everyone knows that Hali's are lightweights. Now lizardfish........ They can party hard!

Most San Diego Halibuts have a high tolerance to alcohol, and will generally flap their tail twice if they want another shot of tequila. They tend to be restless, irritable and discontent until they are able to drink the whole bottle of tequila and then they black out in about 2-3 minutes and you can slip the game clip in while they are sleeping...

I hear about all the seasoned halibut hunters using billy clubs. I don't plan to buy a club, but I do have a knife. I've never landed a legal hali on the yak so never had the need to kill one.
What about stabbing its brain with the knife and wouldn't that work?

[silentsmell]

Is it possible to brain spike a halibut like you would a tuna?

[Dirty Curti]

Killing it and marinating it at the same time...sounds pretty efficient to me.

Halibut are just plain mean creatures to begin with... Imagine how mean and pissed off one would be with a hangover. Plus if they get all wasted instead of dying they will spend the rest of the day bugging you to hit the Mexican drive through on the way home. There's no need to buy it a drink, just clobber it.

It works.
Alcohol is an anesthetic. I knew a diaper hanger from the Caribbean that trolled from island to island and bringing a hot 'hoo on board a sailboat wasnt wise. he would spay vodka in the gills to knock it out to bring aboard. A waste for a but if you ask me.
