How’d she get it into the boat?
(Probably had to tow it back to the dock.)
They shoot them in the head first with a shotgun slug.

on a fishing show the guy would shoot them with a 357 magnum ,made it easier to get it on board
Long lined for halibut in AK, just me and the skipper on the boat, laid out 7 miles of 1/4” gold line with a snap on gannon baited hook every thee fathoms every tide. Hardest work with very little sleep ever done in my life. routine was, pick set, gill and gut, ice fish down below decks, scrupulously clean the deck. bait and set, eat, drift and sleep for couple hours, then run out, pick the set and start all over again.
I ran the level wind reel hydraulics and the skipper used the gaff. The big rawboned guy was the strongest man ever saw, when he said fish coming, I would slow down reel, when he swung the gaff, would speed up, and he would easily haul a 2-300 pound halibut on board and smack them with a billy club.
Halibut sizes were, chickens, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, 80-100, then bigger was a whale.
