Another one! Alright guys. Pm report from last night. Hit up one of my buddies spots at 730. First bait out around 745. Was gettin a few nibbles and small runs so assuming the critters were out. Around 930 I reel in my rod. Slowly recalling it and I'm thinking I have seaweed. All of a sudden the line goes stiff and i feel head shakes. This beast goes for multiple runs and long runs. I'm feeling my reel getting hot and I mean hot! Time to have this beast down. My buddy, my fiancé, and I start running down the beach. I'm over here cranking as fast as I can while running. Getting tired and I know this guy is. Was able to beach this guy about 30 minutes after hook up. Got him at the very corner of his lip. Perfect hook set. Friend dragged it up and I dragged it back down to release. God that guy was heavy. Must've been around 140-150 pounds. Taped out at 88-89 might've been 90 just because the fish wasn't completely straight. My new pb. If anyone could help me out with picture posting that would be much appreciated. Thanks guys

What Squatch said! I'm guessing an older reel with graphite side plates??

Thanks for helping me out bro! Really appreciate it!

The reel I'm using is a penn 310 gt 2. The reel was lightly used probably less than 5 times. I moved out my parents and about 5 years later I found it in the garage. I wanted to test the waters to see if I liked shark fishing. Probably going to invest in a new rod/reel but going to use this for a little bit. Most likely I'm going to buy a new rod first. My line was 50 braid 50 mono.

Solid fish. It's not a tourney, so I'd give you a courtesy 89 ;D
Anybody have an emergency beer?

Solid fish boss!  I'll be updating the shark list and congrats on the PB!  That smile says it all!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

One thing for the shark list... what county are you fishing?  I don't need any specific spots, but just SD, OC, LA or Ventura etc.
Thanks
