A friend of his caught the beast and gave him a jingle to meet down the pier. Equipment was a Penn 130 soaking bait on an 8/0 hook, fight took ~ 1 hr. Too big to haul into the boat and took some ingenuity back at the dock/pier to lift and weigh. Waiting for final dimensions, etc today.
Fairly close to shore also, within a few miles off the coast. With all the commercial boats out there, I guess it's a continuous chum line for these fish and they're chowing right near and up to fisherman's boats.
