Carrying a internet grudges against people you have never met and do not know...retarded.

Using a great report and fantastic catch of a trophy fish to bash someone else... absolutely priceless.

Excellent fish Skally, but we are used to that from you.

If you don't mind sharing something, I have a question about gaffing a halibut. I have not yet caught a keeper, but this may be the year. I have read many stories about how this fish goes bonkers once gaffed.

You mentioned that you aimed for a belly shot with yours. Is that the way it is supposed to be done? I am curious as to why this is better than the head or some other part of the fish.

Please educate the rest of us.

Nice fish, great photo! Fighting a monster like that with the giant waves rocking your boat all over the place, how did you do it? That water looks sweet. Congratulations

Beautiful halibut Scally, very nice!!

Bob, I think belly is the best place to aim for. Info and good tips on this thread

Ah, big La Jolla halibut in the winter...

5 or so years ago (talking about how the time flies

), before these crazy squid runs, I remember awesome winter for big buts... I remember one day when 3 over 30 were snagged, Jasmin, Easton and John scored... Pretty much the same spot...

Majority of ours that winter were on iron/megabait.

Thanks Lamb. That was a great tutorial. Now all I have to learn how to do is catch one of these guys.

Skally, do you need a gofer to follow you around so he can learn how it is done?
