Hey Bret I'm glad you remembered the steps to landing halibut:

1 When you see color reach far into the water to try to get them (3feet is perfect)

2 Gaff with the hook pointed to the kayak

3 Aim at the hard part of the skull, the gaff will stick better.

4 Immediately after gaffing, lift up the fish clear of the water and shake it around.

You lucky SOB! Congrats

Cant wait for the 21st.
