Nice Butt...Did you actually hook the halibut? One time I had one hold on to a small sand bass in the bay all the way to the kayak without having the hook in him. They are frickin mean suckers.

somehow he took a big ringed circle right in his mouth, it was funny I would hook the bait in the head and he would bite the tall then I put it in the tail and he took the head off. must have been a few of them in that spot I think it may be time to use the sling.

Nice. Ive been freediving a couple times this past couple weeks just looking around for lobster awaiting the opener. Each time I've seen atleast one halibut sitting in the sandy patches. Next time I will bring a sling. They are definitely around...

Probably referring to a Hawaiian sling, for spear fishing.

I remember catching perch & sometimes they have live babies in them. Those babies used to be great bait. Squeeze the belly & they would squirt out

I want a halibut that can take a 10'' perch in one bite. The bite off the beach is great right now. Leopard sharks, perch, etc. I can not keep my bait on the hook long enough to get a big butt.
