Heard from a guy I used to fish with at the OB tourney;
Apparently he got it WAY offshore (canyons) and broke the block and tackle getting it into the boat... had to tow it in, overheated his engine

With a 200K calcutta on the line I think if the rules allowed I wouldve payed a dragger to winch the thing into my cockpit with his boom etc...
Maybe thats against the rules though, cant remember..

Winning was a decent fish, 350ish porbeagle I think....

Shame that tiger had to die for nothing.... :-(
