Nice Catches guys. I was also out there roughing it out in the big seas with some family down for the New Year.
As soon as I put the first line down to 400ft with a medium squid, it got inhaled and line was peeling off, I uped the drag to about 14lbs and my crew began to harness up to fight.
We fought this fish from 6:00 to 10:20, only to have the hooks pull! We decided to head in, since it was rough.
Next time!
