Thanks for the words of healing...
Halibut wise, you can shoot 'em anyway you can, but be ready to hang on if you don't put a three or five prong job across their backbone. The flesh can be soft elsewhere and you can tear them off, so a multi prong or a detachable is the way to go. Most times you'll have to shoot when you've stirred them up and they're taking off away from you.
