Thinking of battles of the past most of which I lost .The one impression after fighting such powerful fish was the Hammerheads amazing strength.
"READY FOR KING KONG OR HIS COUSIN BIG MOE"
"GONNA PUT THE BRAKES ON HIM--- HE GOT NO PLACE TO GO"
"WIND,WIND WIND-RUN TO EAST ,RUN TO THE WEST
GET ME A DRINK OF WATER WHILE HE TAKES A REST
I FEEL HIM NOW- I GOT HIM TO TURN
I CAN'T BELEIVE IT THERE HE GOES AGAIN
HURRY UP POUR SOME WATER BEFORE MY WASHERS BURN
NEVER GIVE UP -FIGHT TO THE END
IF THIS HAMMER DON'T SLOW
IT'S WILL HAPPEN AGAIN
MY SPOOL'S GETTIN LOW
TURN THE STAR DRAG N TIGHTEN
NEVER FORGET HOW THESE BIG HAMMERS FIGHTEN
I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRAY
HOLD ON SON I HEAR MY GRANDPA SAY
I CAN'T BELEIVE IT I MIGHT WIN THIS ONE
I GOT HIM COMING I'M GAINING BACK LINE
TURN,TURN,TURN - CRANK THAT HANDLE
ONE BIG RUN AND HE COULD BE GONE
LIKE THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA
HE TALKS TO THE BEAST
TO A NOBLE GIANT THAT SWAM FROM THE EAST
HE'S GETTING CLOSE NOW-LOOK AT THE LINE
"OUT OF THE WAY" I SHOUT
I CAN'T LOSE HIM AGAIN ,,,,,NOT THIS TIME
THERE HE IS IN THE MOONLIT WATER JUST GLIDING ALONG
"OH MY GOD"!! HE'S AS BIG AS A PLANE
POWERFUL,HUGE AND VERY STRONG
I DON'T FEEL THE SWEAT I DON'T FEEL THE RAIN
HE TAKES OFF AGAIN AS FAST AS A TRAIN
AND THEN LIKE MAGIC THE GIANT GIVES
HE'S TAGGED AND RELEASED
AND SWIMS OFF STRONG
ALL SIXTEEN FEET LONG
WHAT A WONDERFUL NIGHT-EVERYONE WINS
THE ANGLER IS TRUIPHANT AND THE GIANT LIVES
Sixteen feet !!!This would be My dream come true and the happiest moment of my life.
