When he woke up you were moving! Amazing that it just circled and did not tow you out to sea. Congrats on the catch! Most guys are quick to exaggerate shark weights, Id say you got it right

I hate to make false claims of big fish. I inched my estimate up from "Oh man he's at least sixty or seventy pounds" at color, to, "this thing is probably a hundred," to "damn it's over 120" to "maybe 150 is a better guess" when two guys could barely move it and it filled the bed of the truck.

now that i have some experience on the water and realize the importance of the system and how much pressure the Jewel is seeing at an ever increasing amount, I realize the importance of not posting . i respect the option to post and yes , i might have done the same if had been me to land one .

. but the reality is now that this is full blown, there will be a dozen more T's landed out of 20-50 more hookups give or take . it was amazing to be there and witness this frenzy first hand. nature has a way of taking care of itself and man has a way of trying to interfere. had i known the yellows were not biting i probably would have stuck around and try some more at them . tight lines.
