Couple hits followed by a hard strike that grabbed and ran for a solid 5 seconds and spit the bait. I'm assuming it was a decent hali but it cut and run. Better luck next time but at least I've got a freezer full of bait. Oh and a 14" lizard fish...

I would try to add a little weight if fishing for halibut. Not sure flyline will get down to them.
