It's actually an aluminum boat built by a company down here... It's a 34' Gravois hull.

Care to divulge how much a similar one might cost

Holy Hell!!! Look at the size of that thing. Thats so big it doesn't even look real. Now thats a monster from the deep. What did you use for bait, giant squid, dog, your kid. Fish of a lifetime man.

If you were fishing for a GIANT you sure got it. I can't imagine a beast like that on stand-up tackle. Congrats on not just beating the old record but shattering it.

Ed - yes, that truly is a fish of a lifetime. Congrats on blowing away the old record. Next to Jewfish, the Warsaws are the biggest of the Grouper family. I knew they got big but that thing is on steroids!

Kevin says great things about the Gravois hulls. He'd love to get one for hisself. Plus, you can NEVER have enough rodholders!
