2lb line! OMG! Very Cool! Raider Ronnie did you loose a bet or something with your Brady photo replacing the Raiders logo? That must be killing you.

Are we completely sure that it is not a misprint, 50lbs 9oz???

Looks more like 30lbs 9oz, still one helluvan accomplishment on 2# test.

I give more credit to the driver of the boat that was chasing the fish down.

He was fishing alone. Which means he had to drive the boat with one hand and play the fish with the other.

You should give him double credit, then

2 lb test line? Not exactly a "catch and release" technique.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

not to be a jerk, but that would have been a lot harder for surfcaster that can't chase a fish around with the boat and has to rely almost completely on fighting skills.
