Beautiful fish Greg. Just two things: How the
hell to you find calm, tame, cooperative halibuts???

Also, I still a little sea sick from that boat wake...
Where's the dramamine?

I stuff my bait with Prozac to calm the fish down. Before the gaff, I am not horsing the fish up, so they are pretty spent by the time they hit the surface. Since I was taught how to gaff a Halibut in Dec. almost 2 years ago, I have not had an active one on my gaff.

There were no other kayakers and only a couple of boats OTW that day for some reason. By 1 pm the average wind there is in the teens at least. Just happened to be at the right place...

Congrats on the barndoor, which I can't see
