Well you all can retire your harpoons and halli hooks. No more need to hog tie or shoot oversized hallis. How many stories are out there of big fish getting away from failed attemps to land with these tactis. Often getting away with fatal inguries. The solution to conviently and safely landing these brutes.......... Alcahol! Yes that's right halubut can't handle thier boose.
A couple of friends turned me on to this crazy idea of sharing drinks with hallis. I was kinda skeptical until trying it myself. I am recovering from a bulged disc in my lower back earlier this season. Couple of days ago we hooked into an 80lb halli and I was fearing the idea of soon wrestling it on the shark hook boatside. I had remembered that a guest had left a fifth of Wisers on board. I acted quickly and altered an empty water bottle to work as a squirt jug. When the big fish hit the surface I waited for the usual halli yawn and then gave him his shooter. Within 10 seconds he was hammared. Putty in my hands and easly handlable. You all got to try this!
Many thanks to Dick and George for comming up with this great idea! They told me that rubbing alcahol also works well and is much cheeper and doesn't depleat the bar stock.
Warning! Fish will come to after a while hung over and cranky;]
Hope this is legal? Tight lines.
