[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1371962, member: 85987"] This fish is in the 140-150# class 65" Cool story We were codfishing for a winter freezer trip. It was later than I thought and I started putting stuff away for the run home. Dave said he was going to make one more drop. Now the previous 2 drops we lost 3 rigs between the 4 of us to presumably porbeagle sharks. When this hit it took off. Dave handed the rod to my buddy Jim because it was smoking the small reel he was using. About 20 minutes in said the rod seems to be pulsing rather than the steady pull like a shark. Jim gave me the rod and I fought it for another 10 minutes or so and it came up tail wrapped. We started laughing when it was gaffed because it wasn't wrapped however 3 of the 4 teaser hooks 7/0 gammakatsu octopus hooks. These are small for fish bigger than about 15#. Anyway these 3 hooks stuck while the cod jig had broken off the bottom of the rig and was flopping around free. [/QUOTE]
