Big Fussh
Would have chased that one around for a few hours before dragging it on board.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

Still how did they manage?
That is one hell off a fush to try and "lift" onboard.
Would need a gantry, or a very "bug" transom door, and the entire front row All Blacks to pull it in

well it sure makes the whiting I entered in the bluewater comp on the weekend look pretty ordinary. But I would have liked to see those old blokes try and lift that up on the scale!
