Fished Fri. and Sat. Caught 3 on Friday, the first two undersize, the third about 35". On Sat caught a 53",82# lb beauty on a herring and flasher on a spreader. He broke off the hooks after I harpooned him and took almost 100' of rope before I could stop him and haul it back it.

Yikes--that sounds like a pucker factor of 10!!
Great job on a dandy Hawg!!!!
I have never seen a harpoon with 100' of line--sounds like you needed it!

yea, I don't like the idea of letting go of the fish with a couple of buoys attached. The long leash concept seemed to work!

I did that a couple of years ago and the bouys dissappeared! Never to be seen again. It was BIG!
