I think you snagged a kelp stringer on the troll and then fought it.

BSB, or shark. the sharks i hook on do quick runs forward, but mainly shoot straight to the bottom. i've never hooked a BSB yet though.

if you say the fish STOPPED MOVING entirely.... then its not a shark. sharks have to constantly move in order to breathe (water flow through the gills). if they stop moving, they stop breathing.

Well the dogs breathe air so if one didnt surface,I would rule that out.You would not be the only person who has fought kelp for a bit.Sigmund fights hard for a while...

I think your buddy pulled" the water in the bucket" trick on you....... probably had a large wsb on ...u freaked out and it beat you

Thanks for the feedback guys. It was probably the pig fish. I'm still mystified. My best sleigh ride yet, followed by kelp popping and reeling, followed by dead weight that might have just been kelp after it got off the hook. In any case, the initial run was awesome. Got a bsb a couple years ago and this thing swam faster than that. But no head shakes like a yt. Guess I'll never know.
