Giant on the beach

Mainepriority · 11-05-2009, 09:49 AM

A 76" washed up on shore yesterday. Saw the game wardens and thought they were going to take it but this morning it still sits. I am in York, Maine.

Big fatty..no harpoon marks and no sign of a hook. Looks like it has been rolling into shore a couple days, Dad's Dream and I turned it on it side and it blead out for a while.

Too bad.

Hopefully this works...It was on the bottom...wasnt floating...the lobstermen have been seeing them right off the beach this last week.

A shame to see this fat giant gone to waste....maybe somebody fought on rod&reel.....and broke him off ~ we couldn't find any hook marks/holes

Anybody else have an idea?
