Salmon fight like salmon, trout like trout, sheefish, char, grayling, same.... Halibut fight like halibut !

I’ve seen them pull a 100’ of line off a reel and wrap around the anchor rope in 250 FOW , right Dirty Mike ? I’ve seen a halibut so big get hooked that for 5 minutes he couldn’t be pulled off the bottom until the fish tore the hook out of his face, right Uncle Jimbo ? I bet Sluggo could tell you about the Predator and Captain Will, big halibut legend in Seward.
