Great video. Incredible the amount of speed generated and documented there. Towed out to sea by a hammerhead shark!!

So damn cool that you are releasing these fish. I released one as well on Saturday. Keep arm paddling!

Good to meet you as well Greg. Nice job on the release! Homeguards are made, not born(:

You were fine on the positioning. The only time you have to be careful is when somebody first hooks up and its up on the surface. Once it sounds, and im right over it, you can work circles around me and be ok as long as you don't let too much line out.

That's not to say people should just go in doing hot-laps around a guy who's hooked up... Only with permission! Come in at a distance, assess the situation, say "whats up", and do a wide circle giving plenty of room.

Shoot... i basically lurked your fish when i got my 2nd one. I was offering Greg a friendly OTW photo after he had just stuck a nice 20+# yt , and low and behold...
