COMPLETE CATCH DATA

ESTIMATED WEIGHT: 75 lbs
FIGHT TIME: 10 min
FISH CONDITION: Fair
ADDITIONAL REMARKS:

Used a non stainless inline circle hook as required, but the hook still caught a little too far back inside jaw. Due to the location being too close to vicinity of the gill we did not try to remove the hook in fear of doing more damage on the way out. Clipped the wire right at the corner of the jaw and shark swam off very strong.
