Great video, but I think I will re-estimate the BSB I caught a few months ago. I estimated 40-50 lbs, but looking at yours.......maybe I'll bump it up a notch. It felt like 200 lbs bringing it up.

Bad-ass man!!!

It took me a couple days to recover from the 2 I released last Tuesday, totally noodle armed. First one felt like a bus and was around 100ish, second fooled me as it was faster, took more line and did not feel like I was hooked to a bus, around 60 pounder. That was the first 2 baits dropped to the bottom

then the sea lions were all that wanted every bait after.

Ya guys I don't know that it was 100 obviously, but my leader was 4' and it was about a foot longer than that. Took about 15 minutes to land... which is really long for me. But def not as big as some others I've caught , and it still has spots. Maybe GoPro superview makes it look small haha the title was mostly trolling

Doesn't look an ounce over 98# to me

That is awesome Chris. Congrats on the nice catch and especially the successful release. I love the backbone those Tiger Ugly Sticks have and at such a ridiculous low price. Thanks for sharing the video.
