Lost Game Clip...

[Deamon]

Wow...a new lesson learned...

Gaffed it, put it on the game clip, clubbed it 5 times, nicked a few gills, stabbed its brain a half dozen times then hung him over the side...sumbitch woke up pissed after a few minutes and took my cleat and game clip with him.

Halibut require bonking 15 times...

[easyday]

Wow no kidding. Tough little bastards aren't they.

[bubblehide]

They calm down pretty well once their gills are ripped out.

It sucks to lose stuff, but that way, ouch!

[RobFish]

Doh! That sucks dude. Tough bastards indeed.

[StinkyMatt]

Jim, you will find any excuse to do some "bonking".

That one was small anyways, you are looking for a toad anyways.:)

[jaws197]

That sucks Jim!!!!!!!:mad:

Hopefully the Monster Butt shows up for you next time to help make up for that one!

[roby]

Lesson learned: don't take advice about halibut fishing from Ful-rac....

Doh!!

[GregAndrew]

Tough one Jim. I always use a secondary line tied right to my brass seat clip. Halibut seem to be like Catfish, you can bleed them and then stick them in your lap/hatch and a half hour later they go nuts.

[FishNinjaY]

F'in' zombie fish.. you have to take out the brain stem. :boxing_smiley:

[jorluivil]

You're fish did the 'Ful-Rac'

[StinkyMatt]

You got FulRacked!

[skrilla]

.45 to the head usually works. 2 to make sure. Over the water is preferred.

Ummmm...I did read AND follow Tony's advice to a tee...


Jim, you will find any excuse to do some "bonking".

My Great Uncle Wyanski warned me about the Poles who were learning English using a condensed version dictionary...I just found one...:the_finger:
Don't ever knock "bonking" a fish until you've tried it one time...:paddleersmilie:

[ful-rac]

Those sneaky little halibut! Boy would I have loved to see your face when it broke off!!!:eek:

[easyday]

Had to give a big bat ray the ol 4 cell mag light treatment

[xpresso2am]

damn....

[maui jim]

You forgot to blindfold her....

[kobra]

Ummmm...I did read AND follow Tony's advice to a tee...

Not quite sure that's the same "bonking" that Tony does. :rolleyes:

[bellcon]

Bummer Deamon,
bleed em, rip their gills out, beat them with a club...
it doesn't matter, certain Halibut will just wake up and go flipping nuts no matter what!

Greg is right
2 clips or rope or whatever securely fastened to the kayak is your only chance, and even then... chit happens


"you got FulRacked"
now that's funny!

[FlyFishinYakr]

I learned along time ago if your going to rip the gills snap the neck spine while your at it. :the_finger: That'll stop him from thrashing any further!:D
FFY
btw: losing a game clip with the cleat really sucks. :(

[frugalfisher]

You no hear about SEALIONS? They will flip you over for a nice halibut!

How many fish you hang in the ocean? Really? I'm curious. I would think you would get mugged by the dogs.

Sorry bout your clip.

[StinkyMatt]

I think that hanging a fish over the side is a pretty common thing. If I do see active dogs, I might pull the meat on deck for a while.:)

[Deamon]

Frugal...

LJ's Sea Lions don't mess with ANY Blue Hobie Revolutions...its one reason so many that color are purchased...you all can thank me for that...:the_finger:

Reasons to hang fish:
get hot fish off of your expensive gear and FF (Tony's/Fulrac recommendation)
clear gear, wash off blood, re-rig, drop back down for #2
Take photo :D (this is where I was at in the process)
Drain kidneys...I know some who pee on their fish and then invite their friends over for "fresh" brined sashimi...:eek:

[Old Man in the Sea]

sounds like 4 good reasons to me - especially #4:D:linesnap:

[taggermike]

Oh the excitement of halibut fishing. That sucks and it sounds like you did plenty to put an end to that fish. I put a "dead" halibut in the hatch of my extreme and then had then it go ape shit. Thought the damn thing as going to beat a hole in the yak or blast the hatch off. Thankfully it did neither but there was no way in hell I was opening that hatch until banging was over. Next

[JNAST13ST]

Nice man, who's everything been

[makobob]

I thought you had to be 3 miles offshore to legally shoot them?

[Deamon]

Nice man, who's everything been

Johnny, where you been? Hope all is well. Putting the time in and just been scratching it out. Jim
