SHARKA-HALI-RAY

Line goes BONK!
I grab the rod out of the rod holder(newly installed Orca)
Head shakes….feels like the right kind but heavy
Fish runs away….feels like a shark I tighten the drag just a bit
Fish runs back toward me….feels like a batray
More head shakes….still feels like the right kind, but super heavy I back off on the drag
Fish turns and runs….feels like a ????, I thumb the spool and burn my skin
Fish comes to color, belly is on the opposite side of the fish so I have to reach over it for the gaff shot
my mind says: I have one shot at this, if I miss the gaff shot I'm going to lose this fish
I gaff the fish and I scream like a 14 year old girl at a Justin Beiber concert


45.5 lbs
46inches
Personal best

Fish was caught during a tournament, approximately 30-45 minutes before the weigh in.

Seeing the head of that fish for the first time was a trip. Looked like a freaking dinosaur!

Well done Jorge, except for the blood curdling girl scream. Beautiful fish and well handled.

Holy F@#&!$g hell that thing is huge! Are you sure that wasn't from a recent Alaskan adventure?

I imagine you will see that one coming to color in your mind again and again for the next few weeks!

Big time congrats.

Wow! Nice one Jorge. That thing is huge. Looks a lot larger than 46 inches. My personal best last week was 40inces and only weighed 23. Yours has to be larger than 46 inches to weigh twice as much. Well, what ever it weighs, that's a nice fish.
