I made a gaff.

I have a nice piece of surf rod that will one day become a nice halibut harpoon :smt002

Too bad we cant use harpoon in CA  :smt005

Cant wait for the next season, I've watched the video you gaff the hali over and over.

Methods of Take: When angling, no more than one line with two hooks attached may be used. A harpoon, gaff, or net may be used to assist in taking a Pacific halibut that has been legally caught by angling. See California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 28.95, for additional restrictions on the use of harpoons. Take by spearfishing is allowed pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 28.90.

I put a line counter reel on and use it for a downrigger. Works great.
