I caught one that size last year. The steaks on that fish are amazing. Good job and congrats on the prize.

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.

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. Last edited by Orca Winfrey; 01-07-2018 at 09:01 PM. |

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.
