Couple of years ago while we were on a charter trolling for stripers at Stellwagen when we hooked a couple of porbeagles. It was early in the day, flatass calm we seen a few dorsal fins here and there but didn't give it a second thought. There were 2 dorsal fins ahead of the boat and the capt called out to watch the rods. We had two strikes one after the other, lost 1, but we fought the other one for almost an hour. We took turns trying to reel in the wily beast, he'd run and we'd get him in closer until he had enough of us and went straight down and sat. Then the knot at the wire/ mono came undone and he was gone. Lost 2 umbrella rigs and a sh!tload of wire
