I lost my fish trolling 30 miles SSE of MTK Pt. Almost dumped a Tiagra 50. Fought it for close to an hour, had color just outta harpoon range off the back of the boat when she bolted once more and that was it... POP!....Boing! Gone... Chewed thru the #150 leader. Small giant though... Prob in the 72-76" range give or take. Ahh fish stories!

I fought them both stand-up and out of the fighting chair. The fish in the photo was in the chair but I did catch a 1,000 on stand-up. Yeah, their teeth aren't big but they're sharp and with heavy drag all it takes is the line rubbing against the teeth and the leader goes. I've lost some the same way. You'll get her next time!
