I caught a blue fin in 1975 when I was in the army in Panama. I though I caught the biggest fish in the ocean. I was there from Wyoming where a big, I mean really big, fish was 30 pounds. Mine was 50 and it took two of us 45 minutes to get it to the boat. I can’t imagine what a 345 pounder would do.
Try this one on for size. The record for the Gulf of Mexico. 9 hours to land the fish. 1152 pounds. They couldn’t get it through the fish door so they drug it back to the dock out of Venice La. the fight took the boat and crew over 25 miles of backing down and circling and jogging. Bayou Wild TV.
