and forget the net. If they're small enough to let go, grab them by hand, if they're big enough that you want to keep, use the gaff.

ive always heard that you cant catch halis at night, guess this disproves it.

A friend of mine told me , if you don't have a gaff grab the largest leadhead you have and try and make a make shift gaff out of it. Try and get him in the mouth or underneath the gills. I know it's gonna be tough but you gotta try something.

Be sure to have the camera running when you try to get a swimbait hook in the mouth of a 40+ in Halibut. And have the lifeguards number on speed dial.

I'm not dissociated that he swam away though. I feel accomplished. My biggest halibuts have all came at night. It did not help that he inhaled the bait. My line finally had enough of his teeth.
