Killing a Halibut - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sounds like a waste of tequila to me...if you have to kill'em...a couple of good whacks with a billy club'll do it...and if that doesn't work a few more whacks...etc...

Alright, un-proven science-y train of thought here, but alcohol burns. Wouldn't it burn the gills of the halibut? Causing it to freak out... Maybe.

I think you were getting your leg pulled.

If it goes bonkers just tell it to STOP
If it doesn't stop going bonkers tell-em to stop or you're going to get mad
If it still doesn't stop going bonkers tell to you're going to get really really really mad......that usually works

I have actually heard about this exact thing like ten years ago. Someone told me that it is the alcohol that kills the fish when it is run over the gills. I had heard you could use vodka but have never tried it myself.

You goys are funny. I don't know MRG. Your train of thought makes since, but alcohol has knocked me out before. So I can see it knocking a fish out instantly. I saw a guy out at La Jolla Clubbing the hell out of a huge Hali. It looked like more work than a quick couple of squirts to the gills. I've just been holding them down with my legs when they go crazy. I'm going to going this a try. He sure did a good job of selling the theory.
