I had that happen to me once, We were striper fishing and catching smallish stripers 26 to 36 inch, and all of a sudden I hook up and it just keeps going and going till I grab the spool, I had about 3 wraps left on the spool and the tug of war began till the hook straightened and pulled out. never to know what it was, 50 maybe 60 pouder?

Only time I've ever hooked up like that was from #1: Mercruiser like Bloo
and #2: sealz!
Hope you guys don't swim around there.
Looks like yer ready to fight by the looks of that belt, though.
Gotta buddy who fishes for sharks like that in South Kakalake...he uses anchor rope, eye round and the biggest hook he can get online.
He usually just ties the rope off to his dock!
Good luck,
Bring big pliers!

That reminds me of our 2+hr battle with a tuna on the Ave Maria 2 last june.
But we had the benefit of being on a boat with 500hp to chase it down for 0ver 6 miles!
