Guy's I caught the fish 92" lowerjaw to fork, 11'2' overall. Approx 400#.

We were 8.6 miles off the Annisquam and 13 mile out of the Merrimack on the 240 line. The fish hit a live Mack down 50'. We were chunking w/herring. The fish was loaded w/chunks when we cut it up.

Total fight time was 25min, from hook to tail wrap, and I'm not #^&#^&#^&#^&ting you, 25min.

I first thought it was a shark, it took the bait that way. Then it screamed off a 200' run straight down. After that it was a steady pull, but the 80 won out.

I can't figure how to post a pic or I would. My Marina is BPM
