Do you have a pic of the 30 pounder ? The one in the pic took me 45min to pull out. It got hooked 300' deep and it took out over 700' of line. It was a battle, I had to tire him out first, every time I'd get him close to the boat, he'd take off like a rocket. My arm was very sore the next day...especially that I pulled out 3 other ones that day - although not as big.
attached few more pics from the same trip. Together we got 12 of them!
