Had a buddy giant fishing next to us a couple summers ago, he was solo on his 34 Contender and hooked up on a giant BFT on a heavy duty spinning set up with a jig rod. He fought the fish for a couple of hours and realized he had to get home to his wife and new born for a dinner reservation they had, so he hailed me on the radio and we ran over to him and he handed the rod off to us. It was a brutally hot day so I stripped down naked and fought the fish for like four hours, we covered 13 miles trying to get that thing up but eventually broke off right before dark.
Of course it was hot. No one can get their rod to flex like that when it’s cold.
 
As I’m recalling many of my best spearing stories, many involve sharks. Turns out sharks coexist where the biggest and highest concentration of fish are 😂.
