Batray,even sharks give up after that much time.
Maybe he had spectra all the way to the hook and he couldn't break it off. It is a funny picture though, Jigmaster on a broken upside down spinning rod

If kelp swims then maybe. He said he thought he had it about 30 feet or so - so I waited around for a few minutes to see what it was. That's when he took off for open water pretty fast. He wasn't paddling either. Even a BSB doesn't take more than an hour or so. It was truly wack.

What time did he start heading out. The tide turned around noon that day.

He lost all of his gear but would not give up the fight.

It was 3PM or so. COuld it have been a max fow out? Maybe, but I never saw the tide push a yak in a perfectly westerly direction ....excep maybe Mission Bay channel. Then again there was a strong wind blowing inshore.... maybe the two combined to make him look like he was moving faster away from me than he really was. But he was going in a circle when I first came up on him...what about that? You got to be pretty dense to battle kelp for 8 ours. Hey I'm just reporting on what I saw....cause in 5-6
bb years on the canyons I've never seen anying like it.

Someones imagination has gone wild.... the guy must of had wire leader,300# mono on the spinning rod to have had that fish on for 8 hrs. Its like the"old man and the sea" story. Ride that bull kelp to Hawaii.
