We never saw the shark at all until it came up 30 minutes later. I fought it straight up and down in a tug of war the whole time. I thought about puting the boat in gear and planing the shark up but my Shimano Calcutta 250 didn't hold enough line for that. There wasn't enough drag to do much short stroking even by thumbing the spool. Too much pressure and something would have broken. I just had to hold on. It was fun to finally get it to the boat and see what it was. The 30 minute tug of war was not so much fun. It was work!
