Come on 90 minutes? Maybe it felt like 90 minutes. An hour and a half is a long time. I have caught Tuna, Makos, Tarpon Gaint Grouper, Stripers, Blues, and a Swordfish and never had one on for more than 20 minutes. I did fight a trash bag full of sand, in the surf at Narrow River one night for about 15 minutes before I landed it.

I am kidding sort of but 90 minutes is unbelievable.

No boat, back in the suds.
