[br]I agree with Sushi, although I leave a pretty long tail and split it like a twin tail jig. Pretty good action. Throw a big glow hootchie on the leader and you are good to go.

[br]If you are fishing for Halibut with barbs on your hook and you catch a Salmon with that barbed hook then you must release the salmon because you caught it with a barbed hook. If you are fishing for Salmon with a barbless hook and you catch a Halibut then yes you can keep the Halibut because you have not broken any laws. How easy is that.... hope it helps. Steve.

OK, I'll take the bait... [}]
If you catch a Salmon on a big barbed Halibut hook, and you release it - there's a pretty good chance it's going to die because you just ripped it's gills out with a barbed hook.
Personally, I would think this should be considered "bycatch".
I don't have the regs in front of me to quote from them, but I believe that it comes down to what you are targetting, not the gear that you are using.
