Reminds me of a night back in the mid-1960's my dad was Snook fishing on the Manatee side of the Skyway Bridge back when there was only the one bridge with two-way traffic and he "accidentally" hooked a HUGE Loggerhead Turtle that decided that it was going to swim out to the "hump" at the middle of the Skyway Bridge and nothing was going to stop it! My dad couldn't get him loose from the line and the turtle literally walked/dragged my dad half way up to the "hump" of the bridge before the huge turtle finally broke the line. My dad subsequently had a long walk back to the south end of the bridge at the seawall with a real Sunshine Skyway "fish tale" to tell!
Well it’s not every day you hook a pier monster ! The excitement,the hard work of fighting something that you can’t see the anticipation, and finally the reveal ! Then it’s like how the hell am I going to get this bridge troll off my line 👈🏼🤣. 👍. Tight lines guys !
