Thanks guys. Hit the pink teaser I'm holding. The fish never fought the whole time. Felt like a ghost pot or lost gear. Never did a head shake or anything. Could never tell I had a fish on. The fish finally came to life when the mates tossed it on the deck and took the gaff's out. Then it came to LIFE. It's the biggest flattie I ever took a filet knife to. The top side filet was a solid 3 inches and the white side 2 inches. Belly was full of what looked to be herring. An awesome experience that hasn't fully sunk in. I got the fish on 40lb braid on my 320 GTI and 5 ft of 40lb pink ande. Hit the teaser on the dropper loop.
