atleast that what our guide told us last year when we were fishin for hali's...

Speaking of halibut being brought into a boat with out being subdued, there was this true story about a newbie halibut angler that I heard on an online halibut fishing article. What happened, was this newbie hali angler brought in a 40lb halibut. The next thing that happens, is the angler brings the hali into the boat without subduing it. The angler bends down to unhook the ticked off hali and winds up with a black eye and broken ribs.
