What a giant fish! Did it swim back down on its own, how was the release?

That definitely looks like good clean fun with a positive outcome!

I got my first about a year ago. About 80 pounds and did the same thing with a near tangle with a lobster trap line. Wore us both out, broke my pole then got him up again to release.
Hooked a big one couple of months ago and after a 10 minute fight it stopped.....I really thought it wrapped around a rock. Pulled hard.... nothing, so pulled hard to break the line and turned out my swivel was only 10 feet down in 80 feet of water. Must have been a biggun.

I'm going on number 5 or 6 really not looking forward to seeing another bobber.....i made sure everyone went down, and got every hook out too. Just grab them by the lip until they start to shake there head.....
