I don't know about Orygun. But, I was recently made aware of the fact that it is illegal to gaff salmon in Washington.

one that sticks the head and not the body! Sharp and easy to handle...actually most tuna can be brought aboard by flipping them in with their own momentem...no gaff needed.

Rod........

Everyone has their own way, but I personally pull mine in by hand. One of the reasons is that if you accidently body gaff them (which can happen very easily the way they thrash), you have the potential of spoilage. The other reason is that it's so damn easy to pull them by hand :grin:
