If that fish would have just eaten one big dolphin before I caught him, I would have held an all-tackle record, at least for a while.
At the time, that fish was just 15 pounds off the all-tackle record. It was just an incredible fish - six and a half feet long, and the girth was 36 inches.
We were hustling to try to get the fish in because the area was loaded with big sharks, and it was one heck of a fight trying to horse that monster.
