Epic Jake. Typical big blue dogging down just out of reach aye. Good work taking the opportunity and getting a shot at it. That's a choice true fishing yarn for future years for sure. And the calmest response to losing a fish at the boat I've ever seen. Bet you had a few non believers before that vid was seen.
I love catching fish. But fishing isn't always about catching.

Hell of a watch. Must have been dam good fun. Sometimes the fish wins and that's still good. At least it doesn't have to drag the lure and all that line about any more. Thanks for sharing.
