I started with a 2' gaff, it was tough, you had to lay the fish out just right and pull it in very close. Then I got a 4'er. Made it so much easier, perfect gill shot every time. Still use the same 4'er on my skiff. You could get it done with a 3'er, but that extra reach especially with an 8' or 9' rod is very nice to have.
