MrBill is on a distinguished road
The longest and hardest fight I ever had was a Black marlin. I believe it took me around 6 hours. It was caught on a 30W with 30 pound test line. It fought on the top the first 30 minutes and then sounded. It really wasn't that big. It hit the scales at 256kg's. I believe that around 550 pounds.

I've also had my face smashed against the transom when a drag locked up. I lost teeth on that trip. I've seen a bill go thru a deckhands forearm. I've also seen the skin of a forearm torn off by a bad wrap on a green fish.
