The fish handling skills of some of the best west 'pros' is also quite alarming..
Now add to it the gloves which can catch on the rakers and easily tear..

We are veering way OT here, but speaking of fish handling, I saw an episode yesterday of Trev Gowdy's Monster Fish where the gaffed a Kingfish, and then released it. National freakin tv.

Ok Zed...if you insist...

Well after a team sewer facetime conference...we have determined that we as a, "group" have no idea what the hell to do, since we usually catch halibut that are usually 30-40 times larger than that one pictured...Id say ask another expert...

Geez where's Jim Day when you need him anyways....

I put my math skillz to work here and I have calculated that if you are catching things 30-40 times larger than 21 inches that puts you between 52.5ft-70ft, which put you in the realm of these majestic creatures. Good luck using a lip gripper on a finback whale
