how do you even reel this in?

seriously, if the fish is so big, do you have any chance of reeling it in? wouldn't you loose grip of the rod, or the fishing line just snap?

I was glad to see it released, but will always wonder if it survived…

Prehistoric fish!

I caught a 7 pounder on the Willamette once. I was pretty excited, but then I am a crap fisherman!
They are awesome looking fish.

The one Jeremy Wade keeps hunting for.

That would have made a LOT of cat food! :boink:

I ended up watching the video and the fish didn't put up a fight. Too me it looked like too old and too weak to fight.
