Heres two of my favorites first while fishing off of eagle rock at sekiu in 30ft of water we were running herring off the down rigger and all of a sudden the rod doubles over the line starts peeling off I pick up the rod and thought we had a hog on until it wouldnt come off the bottom.After a 20 minute battle landed a 60lb halibut.The second was on the HOH we had just put the boat in at the old 1000 line(rainer) droped the hook to check the tuneage of our plugsI let out about 6 to
8ft and started to pull and it was all I could due to hold on to the rod as a 30lb springer grabbed it and took off in the dark after about 30 minute fire drill with a rookie on the sticks we landed it what a rush I will never forget!!
