secure game clip to yak
break out big knife
and cut a gill or two
wait for hali to die
hold on

Thanks, I am still sick over it and thinking of all the things I should have done differently. Probably lucky I did not get it in the yak without killing it because it could not fit in my cockpit and would have had its face in my lap.

Oh well, its the 4th of July so let's put it in perspective and hope another fish gives me a chance to do a better job. Thanks to all for the advice.

Bummer on loosing you trophy fish... For that reason I made a stringer that I carry ..
I usually follow these steps
Gaff, Game clip and then the stringer, The pipe goes through the loop .... Hold on

That is a great list Adi!! I also don't like to beat my Halibut unless I need to, because it reduces the effectiveness of the bleeding. But the dogs can force my hand sometimes.

I almost feel better about boating a T than I do a hali. They are the toughest fish to kill.

I saw this on the spear board, Only concern would be popping a hole in the deck.
