Thanks for the advice. I have a mesh bag, from<BR>when I use to scuba dive, I am going to try. I<BR>will take a stringer along, in case.<BR>Have any of you killed the fish before bagging/<BR>stringering them? I know in alaska they actually<BR>shot halibut before they bring them on board.<BR>I'm not thinking of bringing a gun, but is there<BR>a good way to kill a butt?<P>Jerry<BR>
