You might be correct on the weight, and I am not one to greatly embelish my fish tales, but I am basing the estimate on the following: When I caught my first BSB, I estimated 50-60 lbs, and the famous Duke Mitchell opined that it was more like 80. I ran with it. Based on that estimate, this fish was definitely larger, so I rounded it to 100. Now that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
And it was a great day on the water!
Thanks for your input.

I'm guessing 3-4 minutes. I circled around and would try to push him forward each pass. They are pretty slick and hard to get ahold of. Grabbing by the fin is near impossible, but i kind of pushed from under his side fins.

cool fish, but come on man, it is not 100lbs.

These are 100lb bluefin for reference -
