Whao!! Great camera angle! Reminds me of those monster tarpon shots.... Look at the texture of its belly....These big fish are like a different species when you get one in your hands and are impressive to behold.

Absolute beast. cant remeber so many 40's being caught from the surf this early before either. Lot of big fish around.

Fish of a lifetime for sure...and on video?..that is just crazy...congrats and I hope he does not have to endure all the negativity others in similar situation did.

wow!

that first pic is just unreal, you really get a sense for what a beast that thing is!
Congrats to him!

Did you see how flat calm the water is in the background? I love fishing a plug in those conditions. WHAM!!!!!

Someone just told me that a 65# was just caught west of there.

But I like this one better!!

Congrats on releasing the fish. Who knows if she will actually make it, but she sure has a better chance than if he took her her home. Incredible fish!!

What a beast I hope she survives.

To clarify some confusion, Blaine was unable to revive the fish so it was not set free.

Thats a sweet fish congrads
