launched around 6 to a whole lotta fog. Made a 1 huge and 1 regular greenback and a spanish. First greenie got toothted to death, then the other was a laim mack, died while trolling. The spanish did well but to nadda. Made my way in front of the condo with the pbers and was yoyoing the the blue/white 6x and WHAM................ Not so much of a runner but he pulled like a 100lb anchor. Dragged me north for 45 minutes. Came within ten feet of the yak and effortlessly went back down. Unfortunatley I was using my bait stick with 25lb test and not the 7' with 40lb test. closest I got him up after that was 20 ft and I tightened down the drag 100% and started to pull. Then Snap :cry: No head shakes, just raw power. I had a few tag-a-longs bs with me as he dragged me, none with cameras. My digi was acting up so I had to use the cell phone camera. Me going bendo was all I got......

Figure it was an enormous wsb or the rare bsb. I was pulling as hard as I could with pegged drag and thumb on spool. I didn't pull him up a foot. He was HUGE. :shock: good luck to the PM.
