The sharks do seem to be lively and are giving a good scrap. The 130 pounder took 60 minutes to boat with a 30lb set up!
Female blue shark estimated at 130 lb. Luke and myself were trying to control the fish to take a few photos. Don’t try this at home!

During the initial run a large blue shark almost emptied a penn senator reel. The skipper started the engines and began chasing the fish. After a 80 minute heavy fight we boated a nice 120 pounder
It was still early on the west coast for Blues so skipper set up for a long drift. We had lots of rubby dubby with us on the boat going out. As the day went on it looked like the shark were going to let us down when after 4 hours we had a dropped run and almost straight away had a shark on another rig. This turned out to be a female around 75lbs.
