went NP today 10/21 water was calm , lot of small barracuda , decent bass biting

Hooked really big halibut ,had good fight , but my gaff was too small for it
As soon as I gaffed , it took off
I didn't expect that big halibut lives New Port harbor
I think around 30lb

Another kayaker took picture that moment you can compare the head and my gaff size

Looks like a pleasant day on the water, Nice photos and report.

Similar to the Cobia in Florida, the battle goes beyond gaffing until the fish is either netted, clipped or dispatched. I feel your pain, I recently had this one flop out of the yak
