I was jigging for halibut in S.E. Alaska last summer using big 24 oz. steel jigs in fairly deep water. After half an hour of nothing i got a pretty good hit. After It swam around a bit i realized it wasn't a butt so I tightened the drag and cranked it in. 200 feet later I had me a 14 pound silver with a giant jig in its mouth.
