I’ve wanted to catch one of these monsters ever since I first tangled with one of these beasts, and lost, just over two years ago.

Yup, they rarely mess with people but they are known to steal fish off lines or even speared fish. Sometimes anglers get in the way, hahah.mark poulson wrote:I bet!

And to think I worried about a sea lion coming into my boat.
Thanks for the links.

What’s the lightest tackle used ?
I assume no finesse equipment was on the boat
