Going for the big ride

Christian and I were going halibut fishing in our 14 ft skiff. We were fishing blind with no chart or fish finder. It was like glass on the ocean so we went for a cruise in the boat and hopped over to a spot where he knew the big fish were. We weren't able to go over there before because it was further away and the swells were too big. Here was his chance to get the big one! Within ten minutes of dropping my line I get a bite! I thought the pole was going to come flying out of my hand. I knew this was no fifty pounder. There was one point in time that the fish was actually pulling the boat behind him. Christian looked at his GPS and we were going 2 knots. Wow! He had to take over and bring the fish in because I was going to lose the pole. It was awesome!!!! We had to rub the halibut's stomach on they way back to the harbor because if he would have started flopping around we could have tipped over. He was 120 lbs.
