They calm down pretty well once their gills are ripped out.

It sucks to lose stuff, but that way, ouch!

Jim, you will find any excuse to do some "bonking".

That one was small anyways, you are looking for a toad anyways.

Tough one Jim. I always use a secondary line tied right to my brass seat clip. Halibut seem to be like Catfish, you can bleed them and then stick them in your lap/hatch and a half hour later they go nuts.

Don't ever knock "bonking" a fish until you've tried it one time...

Not quite sure that's the same "bonking" that Tony does.

Bummer Deamon,
bleed em, rip their gills out, beat them with a club...
it doesn't matter, certain Halibut will just wake up and go flipping nuts no matter what!

Greg is right
2 clips or rope or whatever securely fastened to the kayak is your only chance, and even then... chit happens


"you got FulRacked"
now that's funny!

I learned along time ago if your going to rip the gills snap the neck spine while your at it. That'll stop him from thrashing any further!

btw: losing a game clip with the cleat really sucks.

I thought you had to be 3 miles offshore to legally shoot them?
