A freind of mine had one last year that was 90#. That's the biggest I've seen caught, but it was a dink compared to the freight train I saw that other day. Had a customer hook a big one last year on 20#. It took 3/4 of a Penn 500 spool and that was the first and only run. We never even waited for that first run to end, just busted it off so it didn't end up w/ too much line attached. I held on for a while, man was it wierd. Kinda like snagging the bottom while 'butt drifting, but w/ a few nasty headshakes thrown in. Never even slowed down, just a steady, endless pull. Oh well, maybe today...
