It was probably a shark but I'd like to think not. Big pier in West Chop about twenty years ago. Fishing very heavey 10' rod with bait. Fish took it and kept on going. I held on propping myself up against a piling until I was spooled. After the line snapped I fished with another rod and never hooked up again that night. It was 30 or 40 # test as I recall. Wind was blowing. Pier was moving side to side in the swells. I wish I had that one back.
