Cool catch for sure. seems unlikely but after seeing it on the beach it looked more like a big eye than a common. Got any closeup pics of the head?

That's a nice one, and they are like 95% meat too...

Amazing catch and skillful job in landing. What an awesome memory maker! Good for you!

Looks like he's hooked on the pectoral fin...That must of been fun. What kind of rod/reel and tackle we're ya using?
I hooked into one of similar size but it took 3 hours before he dragged my buddy and me 4 miles to sea. we lost him/her 30 ft below the yak. Long paddle in w our tails between our legs.
Congrats, but you're ruined now. It's gunna be real hard living up to this trip.
