Oh I was just saying if it was in real peril for being worn out it would have popped you off in two seconds, not saying it was small. Just getting your back as far as the hurting the endangered fish comment said earlier. If that fish was not going to make it and was wearing itself out and was 6 ft. long it would have broke you off like it did. It wouldnt sit there and die from exhaustion. Pretty good fighting though, keeping such a massive fish on for so long.
