Yep be careful of the nets you use with the butts. If you split their tail they have a very good chance of it getting infected and have an item called tail rot. It you do not have a soft mesh net i would just recomend using a lip gripper to hold the halibut while you measure it. If it is obviously not a legal then just make sure you get that hook nicked up with a pair of Dykes (so rust can really get going) and just cut the line if it is hooked fairly deep.
