Wow. Hope you weren't doing anything stupid like having the fish on a stringer while your suiting. A friend of mine had a six foot stringer of fish attached to his belt at Montauk many years ago. Blue shark bit one in half while it was on his stringer and almost pulled him off a rock. That's a close call (and a very scary swim back to the beach).
