He's a newbie...this was his first Halibut...he did a good job of keeping it on the 20# leader with all those big head shakes...

...and he finally got her to lay out flat for the gaff shot.
Biggest fish he's ever landed...
I did get a 1/4 of the fish since I had to show him how to fillet the big girl...LOL! Those are some nice big delicious slabs too.
