    712lb - 101" Giant on Tiagra 50 & 90lb. Fluorocarbon!!!

    Well, Nat and his client Ron Butler had quite the fish yesterday. I will let him fill in the details but after tagging 3 fish in the morning Nat put out the last bait and watched it get devoured by a slob. In just about an hour, which is totally remarkable, Nat harpooned the fish which ended up being 101" and a whole body weight of 712lbs. A huge congrats to Ron, who did stand up to a giant, and obviously Capt. Nat for this amazing catch. Add to that, the fish was landed with a 12' 90lb fluorocarbon leader!! Go get 'em, Derek

    Congrats again Nat,
    I am very happy for you. It's been a pleasure to fish with you last year with Collin.
    This prove what can be done with a 50 when in the right hands !

    jeez; and there I was cornering the market on 130's to sell to aspiring giant hunters who need more more more.

    Impressive job; the 90 floro leader is a miracle!

    Congrats to capt. Nat and First light, quite a slob on a 50 and 90# leader. Amazing effort by all involved.

    Love that it was done from a CC.....

    Pretty fish guys. Way to kick his ass.
    I would have loved to see that Chinese fire drill in the first few minutes of hooking up!
