They call that cleansing of the gene pool! Here the story goes the canadians shoot the fish after they are in the boat.
 
Have FUN!! |

Hey careful now us Canucks know a few things about fishing too eh! Lol. Actually I usually just bleed out my Hali's after they have been harpooned and are still over the side with a quick but careful slice or two inside the gills. This keeps the boat relatively clean after you do haul them over the side and subdues them rather quickly as well. This would be a bit harder with a large fish but here in Canada there is a size restriction in place so this is not much of a problem.

The halibut shown being shot in my fishing pictures wasn't quite dead when we brought it in. It slowly lifted head and tail and took one tremendous pound to the floor before we pounced on it with fish clubs to save our boat. It looked like the St. Valentine's Day massacre on board. My brother was going to take another picture, but his camera lens had been slimed beyond use. Been there, done that. Now, I just semi-catch and release.

Yes a lot of drama for the camera could have pluged the hole with a wet paper towel.
