Here was a guy who decided to fish a little before heading out to work. As I was coming off the boat to walk Gilligan he called over and asked if we had a fishing net. We did -- somewhere! We finally found it under the upper helm station and sure enough the fish was still on. He netted it and gave it to another looper because literally, he was on his way to work and had no where to keep the fish all day. He said it was the biggest thing he'd ever caught. The other looper took a picture and offered to send it to him. For those of you wondering why we didn't take the fish, well, Ron and I have fished a lot of years and this fish just didn't act right. I asked the gentleman how long he'd had him on the line. He'd just gotten him before he called over to me. Seems like there should have been more fight to a healthy fish. So we passed.
