Nice job on a very nice fish! What kind of rod were you using? Looks like a nice stick.

Thanks for sharing the video.

My go-to stick for Halibut is a GLoomis BBR964C. Absorbs everything they can throw at it, and snaps back quick enough not to allow slack on the headshakes. Also very sensitive to pick up the "Soft Bites" that occur so often. Still has enough backbone in the lowest 4' that I can pull up big BSB with it.

Right on thanks for that. I'll have to check it out for sure. Not like I need another rod but I'm still looking for that "perfect" stick.

Great video and congrats on the PB. Every legal hali I catch freeks out when I gaff it. That fish was cool as the fisherman.

Patience in bringing him in and perfection in gaff, clip and hook removal...
