After two trips and about 8 hours of fighting I land one of two. The first hook up lasted almost 5 hours the day before, to end with a broken leader.:eek: yesterday I landed this one after a two and half hour battle. :reel:

50lb spec, 10ft,150lb steel leader. shimano tr100 reel, and a shity shimano voltaus rod! It was quite a ride, pulled me at 10 mph for about 45 min before getting tired.

"10 MPH for 45 minutes"? Does that mean that this shark dragged you around for about 7.5 miles? I hope it wasn't all heading due west. That would be a long paddle back with 100 pounds of fish in your lap.

Awesome. I saw this post at work and I cant see the pics from that computer, so I sat and wondered. Didnt really do any work, just wondered. Got home and brushed past the wife to get online. Damn. Well done.:you_rock:

Ive got some 100lb mono, anyone think that will work for a leader? :linesnap:

100lb should be just fine...I hooked up on 25lb before and was fine for about 20 min :)
