Easily a 50" bass which inhaled an 18" bluefish I was reeling in during a blitz, saw it come out of weeds about 10 feet in front of me and scoff that sucker up. I was using a large Shimano baitrunner reel at the time, so I flipped the switch and let her run hoping she would swallow the blue and plug. I let her go about 150' and engaged the reel and she spit the blue. For my troubles I reeled in the stinkin blue which had 5 of six trebles embedded in his mouth and gill plate, so in the end my chances were slim unless a swallow took place. Still haunts me to this day.
