All I would like to know is how these guys got those big(7-800lbs)duskys off the ocean floor without using a tow truck?I remember one time my shark fishing buddy caught one about 400+lbs and it was like bringing up an airplane from 65ft of water.Luckily enough afew club meeting before some guys told us about using the corkscrew method in getting one up from the bottom.It seemed to help us out at the time.......Also they used to run into them in the month of May on the west coast alot......Dave M

I know a lot about bonnies, and more than likely I know who rapped it if you want more information on the rod message me.
