Get ready for a fight
HALIBUT ARE NOT SIMPLY overgrown flounders that spend their lives grubbing about on the seabed foraging for scraps, or lying in wait behind the crest of a sandbank waiting for the tide to deliver their food to them.
The truth is quite the opposite. Halibut are an extremely active and highly aggressive predatory species, a fish that when hooked will undoubtedly rip many yards of line off your reel, while testing your knot-tying skills to the absolute limit.
