Not all halibut

I've been halibut fishing several times before and there's always something besides halibut being caught. But there were two firsts for me on this trip. I've seen these before in Hawaii in  about a foot of water, but Lee caught this brittle star at about 200 feet. I don't know how he felt it taking his bait. The bait is bigger than the catch!
This is another first, a huge octopus. Lee almost had one up and it got away. Then the deck hand hooked into a fish and handed the pole to Chase and he reeled up this monster. Pretty cool and HEAVY!.
That's a five gallon bucket they're trying to stuff him into.
