here you go ...
Reel: Shimano Stella SW20000PG
Rod: Japanese Shimano Blue Rose 4815 Line: Diawa PE8 Saltiga Leader: Varivas 200# Shock Leader Jig: Fisherman 310g Andaman Black Silver The big boy ... I had just landed several fish over the 50" mark when I dropped right back down. As soon as I hit bottom I jerked several times and paused and then felt as if the rod was being removed from my arm, the fish took about 50 yards and then allowed me to gain line. At this point everyone is asking and I said on video "its a small fish... then it woke up and just plain screamed off drag even as I tightened it down. I decided I would actually be an angler on this fish and not try to horse it up so i let it run when it wanted to and I gained line when I could. When that fish wanted to run it was very hard to move the rod as it was bent pretty good. Unlike most amberjack I fought this one fought the whole 25 minutes up even in teh upper water column. I remember looking at chip as we first saw color and said I hope this is over 50#'s or I will be emarassed for taking so long. He looked down and said "I dont think we need to worry about that". Up it came about 20 yards from teh boat floating like a frigging submarine. It was just plain huge. No words can describe this fishes head as it was just plain retarded looking. I fought my fight and I beat the fish which I have the upmost respect for. We taped the fish out at 62-1/2 inches at the fork and over 70" overall and initially said in the 115 range but after looking at it and comparing it to some dead fish that were previously weighed a more accurate weight would have been over 120. Enjoy ...25 minutes all on spinning gear Last edited by gman; 10-06-2008 at 08:59 PM. |

Congrats man, that's one hell of a way to beat the 100# mark on jig. You don't see many that big.
