2 Million to one

[GregAndrew]

Is a Million to one, and a million to one equal to 2 million to one? Here is the reason I had to use my backup gaff several weeks ago on that 32# Hali at LJ. Got a couple of reminders on why it is important to support the fish by the gaff in the belly until it is secured and dealt with.

Yeah buddy! Its been a minute since I seen FulRac. Congrats on some nice fish. 2 million to 1, definitely a lifetime moment...

Nice! What a day. So where does a floating gaff disappear to?

1/1,000,000 x 1/1,000,000= 1/1,000,000,000,000 = one in a trillion

What an epic day Fishing and great battle with the beasts. I think it’s 2 million to 2

You got a lot of luck going on there with the tail hooks. I'm far from an expert, but a couple of suggestions to consider.....I tether my gaff and game clip, and I would not bring that mouth full of teeth into the kayak right by my groin until I am sure it is dead (club to the head).
Well done though. Tail hooks are more of a fight because you can't turn them.

now everyone is going to be foul hooking their halibuts ..........chasing the master :D

You've lived a bit of a charmed life.

You should change your user name to Greg Gaffigan!:D

Nice composure and fish.:notworthy:

[blitzburgh]

Nice fatties Greg!

We will never catch him. Let’s set our sights a little lower. Better chances of success. I do like success. Team Sewer has halibut hunting down and Greg even more. Great catches Greg!

Any under water video of the hook up?

1/1,000,000 x 1/1,000,000= 1/1,000,000,000,000 = one in a billion.

Those little bumps and bruises that the plastic end cap takes with normal use make great places for water to enter under pressure.

That is actually one in a trillion. I know the math, was just trying to add a bit of humor.

I am no expert either, but I do know a few things.

No, the first one was before I could get my camera down on that drop. The second one was too deep to film with my GoPro 4 dive case.

[Orca Winfrey]

Lol. I meant to say trillion but I ADDed out. Thanks for the correction. Amazing feat you did.

WAY to go Greg, keep doing it! Tight Lines amigo.

"...I would not bring that mouth full of teeth into the kayak right by my groin..."
With Greg's Brass Balls that Halibut would loose some teeth...LOL...:you_rock:

I'm hoping Greg will bring some of that great underwater footage to the Fred Hall Long Beach Show in March with Team Sewer at the Hobie seminar area and show us regular folks how he gets those images...:luxhello::luxhello:

So lucky on so many fronts, good job!

I'm not sure where those 'floating' gaffs go, lost mine on a thresher, never came back up.
