One good swing and a miss and that fiberglass hull would have taken a beating!

Highlights why you DO NOT want a lively large halibut thrashing around in your boat.

thats great! A guy I guided with this year broke his leg by swinging and missing a frantic hali's head, hitting his own leg. He went to town, got a cast and came back out to finish the guiding season. What a trooper. Id hire the guy anyday.
