I hooked a 100lb Thresher while ling fishing once if that counts. After all, I did get it into the boat when capt Chad blew it's head off with a 12 gauge.

Saw Tony Fish hook a baby whale while tuna fishing on the B'klyn 20(?) years ago. Same trip, he took off a bunch of slack line on the deck and hand threw his butterfish out far, must have seen them breaking. Damned if a tuna didn't leap out of the water to grab it.

On a balmy day in very clear blue water many Septembers ago on a sponser boat at the not so secret mid range BFT spot we had a momma and pup (Pilot whales I believe ) play with the boat, swimming belly up as they cruised underneath us and resurfaced at times for a snack of the sardines we were pitching to BFT and false albies. Momma final took a bait which we did not want to see, After spooling most of a Penn Intl 50 Wide we got her free by luck and got the hook back but YES hooked a whale, been there done that albeit on a dead stick.

Great haul Joey and nice picture of you and tog AGAIN although I believe your middle finger may be pointing at some in the picture
