Great job on that Write up Adi.

One thing I want to point out guys that I was reminded of by Adi's post about that fish on his boat....

Halibut when they hit the deck can go NUTS. I have seen them clear the rail of sportfishing boats when my coworkers set them on the deck to get hooks out (Big no no).

Let them hang and bleed out a little bit before you pull them on deck for your own safety. These fish are all muscle and will beat you up good if given the chance.
