Hanging with Lords and Butts

Went out with Bill for halibut.  Beautiful day! We discovered a new bait when in the mouth/stomach of the largest fish of the day we found an Irish Lord. The ever frugal Bill managed to get it out and cut off the tail for bait.

He proceeded to catch six fish on that one tail. The skin was like iron and they never were able to get it off the hook.
