Game clips are popular but not the best for big fish especially halibut. Trying to hold a fish on a gaff with one hand while inserting a game clip through the gills and closing it with the other can be a challenge. I use a super sized home made trout stringer. I made it with about a 20" piece of bamboo tip which I attached a cord to. I tied a metal ring to the othere end. I have a cleet mounted on the deck of my kayak so once the fish has been placed on the stringer I wrap the cord around the cleet and the fish is secure. If you catch more fish they can be added to the stringer very easily.
