If you're catching small grade butts and by-catch chances are you're fishing with smaller sized bait like anchovies, sardines or smaller grade macs. I prefer to use macs that are in the 9 - 12 inch range, these tend to keep the by-catch away(unless its a monster bass) and will result in hooking less short butts. Another reason you may be catching short butts is for one simple reason, you're fishing an area that is holding a ton of short butts.

What's a Trouble Hook?

Is it different than a trap rig?

Treble hook?

Thanks for pointing it out treble meaning the use of three.....no trouble...

I look forward to the day I might be a local halibut pro, like some of the rest of you. I am working diligently toward this end.

Congratulations Duke. It's a beautiful fish. I'm envious

5mins two part epoxy worked the best for glueing skull bones back together, it helps to make a print of the teeth pattern on a piece of paper so jaw bones line up next time I will try 1min two part epoxy to cut down on the holding time....if you built plastic models as a kid you will totally enjoy this.
Bake head till bones fall apart put them in boiling water scrub with a tooth brush and dry bones....Google a skull picture to follow in the build first thing before you start....
