First things first.....the halibut slot is stupid should just be a limit for the year no max size. The long liners don't care... In terms of landing, they are tough fish to handle when you don't do it every day. Not easy to measure to the last cm on the side of the boat without a good routine. Tough at the back of a boat with outboards. Good vid, little bit of a gong show but you completed the mission. I have had my share of funny moments with those flat bottom dwellers. There are some tricks to landing them easily that really only come with practice. Anyways rock on and enjoy some white meat.....
