You're going to need a gaff. You can buy on or make one. A game clip is vital as well. I always try to keep the fish well secured the whole time because one flop and you can lose a trophy.

I don't kill the fish with a knife or club. I let the fish bleed out then put it under the hatch. Of the fish you mentioned seabass and yt are easy. They come up tired and bleed out fast. Halibut are different. They come up green and pissed. Some do nothing. Others go absolutely crazy. Mike
