captbeard and I made bait at 630ish, had a few greenies in the tank. So we started trolling towards the north west corner. When we hit the depth of 110' I hooked up and my reel starts screaming, he's running hard and breaches about 5' in the air about 40 yards directly in front of us. He breached at least 5 times then the battle begin, it took 15 mins to bring to color. The fight still wasn't over, captbeard gaffed the angry fella and he goes wild biting my yak. We had to stab the guy in the gills to put him to sleep. We bleed him out for a good 20 mins, then we man handled him into captbeards outback hatch head first, with half his body hanging out and went back to fishing for yellows ...
