Nice fish and without a gaff? Impressive way to bring in the new year.

Good work!

Thanks! It was a team effort. I think I had more fun than Orca. Yeah no gaff. I've fished these grounds for over a year now and this is only the second halibut I've come across. After today I'll be bringing a gaff with me.

Heck yeah! That’s a nice one!

I wouldn’t have landed it without Saba’s Help. The dude is a fishacidal maniac.
I was kind of wanting to see if Saba would have lipped it. I’ll bet he would have tried rather than let it escape.

Thanks all. Saba knows how to handle fish! That thing had a set of choppers it wanted to use on him. If he wasn’t there, I would have chickened out and released it. After this, I know that the FG knot is very reliable.
