sunday offshore at bacardi wreck notice a huge drager called jersey girl working south of us.we were trolling plastic for tuna.stopped pick up some "snot" from the back of the dragger.made a array of 3 ling in daisy chain faction with a tuna trap in trailing fish (for those of you down south that is a circle hook and 2'of cable roll up and placed in stomach area than sew back up with dental floss)the giants eat it and spit the hook and the circle gets them in the courner of mouth.well well it was off to the races at 60mph---- could not turn it on strike and dare not go beyond on a 50.the giant jumped and it was over,i would say 400 pounds plus,it felt good like the mid 1970 but back then we had 130 in a chair and you could at least back down while putting on 45lbs of drag,a 500 pound giant would tired out in a hour or so and you had a chance but today with a stand up it is over in 15 seconds./it is better to love and lost that never to love at all!!!!!!
