Giant (almost)

Neighbor said his friend hooked up yesterday using a pogie and fought for almost 10hrs a fish that they saw once, easily over 8ft. Fish finally wore them out and broke off about 3:30PM by going under/around the boat.

Another piece of info: during the fight they moved 11 miles.

2nd hand hearsay? I trust my source...????

takes awhile to get one in on an abu 7000 :tooth:. stories like that seem to grow everytime the story gets told. nobody ever looses a foulhooked schoolie, it's always a monster whatever the species

an 8 foot fish weighs 500 +/- 50 pounds....a 50 is not enough nor is a spinning rod....130 is what u need....respect these fish they deserve it
