I am pretty sure you could not hold a 90 plus pound fish like that

You learn one thing in here for sure, and that's not to ever let someone know what you heard for fear of getting tide to the wipping post.

Before you guys jump off the deep end, know that Randy (hitech) is a good, honest guy. We all know the fish in the picture posted is no where near 93 lbs. Randy is forwarding on a report of a local angler catching a monster. I will say a lot of the story has holes in it. If the guy got jerked to his knees, AND was using 15lb test, he definately is not going to be stout enought to pick up 93 lb fish. I don't care if you are fighting a 10, 20, or 120lb blue, the only reason to fight them more than 30 minutes is if they are on a set line and you are not there to catch the fish. These are not marlin or tuna. I hope that all the truths come to light here. Randy is not the bad guy here. I hope that there really was a 93lb blue caught, I hope there were pics taken. I hope we all get to hear about it either way
