My money is on Gdubya to get the biggest fish to just below the surface. It's going to take him 10 minutes to do so with his game face on, reeling a 6.3:1 conventional at 1" per second. Now he hasn't fished much as his back has been healing so he's going to see that double digit monster, lose his composure from all of the excitement and pop it off.
ALSMako will land an early 5#'er, someone will take the lead from him, then he'll land a 7#'er late in the day for the win. Although he'll smile, he'll just keep talking about how little it is compared to the halibut.
Yes, Howie will be too busy caring about everyone else to invest the effort in winning
