Excellent fish Skally, but we are used to that from you.

If you don't mind sharing something, I have a question about gaffing a halibut. I have not yet caught a keeper, but this may be the year. I have read many stories about how this fish goes bonkers once gaffed.

You mentioned that you aimed for a belly shot with yours. Is that the way it is supposed to be done? I am curious as to why this is better than the head or some other part of the fish.

Please educate the rest of us.

Bob
