I learned at Fred Hall a long time ago if you are going to "net" a Halibut to make sure the net is the, small mesh, rubbery type. This is so the tail will not split which, if happens, is pretty much all-she-wrote for a flattie as they will most likely get an infection. Then I just hold them above the tail and move them back & forth til they take off. That's all I got.

you are doing a fine job at CNR on halibuts, they don't spend too much time in the net, I have never seen a tail split in the type of nets we use
"corse I haven't had the luxury of catching more than I can eat...lol
