I usually gaff anything under about 80.This last weekend we had a 65 on and went to gaff it deep in the head.As I swung it up over the rail,it went completely ape**** and acually tore the gaff right through the head leaving the gaff wrappedin my leader and soon headed to the bottom.[:I]Luckily the hooks\line held and we pooned him next time up but I think I will probably be harpooning anything over 50 now.-In the stomach.
