Nice! What a day. So where does a floating gaff disappear to?

1/1,000,000 x 1/1,000,000= 1/1,000,000,000,000 = one in a trillion

What an epic day Fishing and great battle with the beasts. I think it’s 2 million to 2

You got a lot of luck going on there with the tail hooks. I'm far from an expert, but a couple of suggestions to consider.....I tether my gaff and game clip, and I would not bring that mouth full of teeth into the kayak right by my groin until I am sure it is dead (club to the head).
Well done though. Tail hooks are more of a fight because you can't turn them.

You've lived a bit of a charmed life.

You should change your user name to Greg Gaffigan!

Nice composure and fish.

We will never catch him. Let’s set our sights a little lower. Better chances of success. I do like success. Team Sewer has halibut hunting down and Greg even more. Great catches Greg!

Any under water video of the hook up?

1/1,000,000 x 1/1,000,000= 1/1,000,000,000,000 = one in a billion.

Those little bumps and bruises that the plastic end cap takes with normal use make great places for water to enter under pressure.

That is actually one in a trillion. I know the math, was just trying to add a bit of humor.

I am no expert either, but I do know a few things.

No, the first one was before I could get my camera down on that drop. The second one was too deep to film with my GoPro 4 dive case.
