The other side of this fish had some real ugly healing wounds that would of looked like certain death when fresh.


I've caught plenty of Yellowtail and Halibut with obvious scars from Sealions and gaffs that tore out (especially big Halibut with obvious tore out gaff scars that healed nicely). This doesn't mean to ever let a fish go if you gaffed him, never.
