How heavy was the big one? Hope you were wearing a harness.
I like to be macho and all that but that must have been torture (until you got the fish in the boat).
I love the BFT's that we caught up north this year (see below picture of a 130 pound BFT) but i got him on a system 30 after about a 1.5 hour fight (with 13 pounds of drag). But that big sword is in another category IMO.
