One that got away

Early Aug. this year Cape Cod Bay. tube and worm. Screamer down to backing. Get it in on leader 6 times only to have it go straight to bottom before it is close enough for gaff. Able to go to bottom with ease every time once there it has the weight of an engine block. Finally hook pulled out must have worn a hole from too much pulling. They don't get that big and old from being stupid. Felt like crying. I got a good look and it was close to 5' lg and a foot thick. Got a 48 lber last year and this was heavier. That's fishin and I enjoyed the fight. It's what keeps me going.
