re: Heartbreaking when you hook into a big fish and it's not what you're after

Friend and I were running boats out of GI fishing MC. Saw him hookup Saturday morning. Called him on the radio around noon and he said they were still fighting it. Called him that evening and he said they were still fighting it. Called him Sunday morning and he said they were still fighting it. I told him I was heading in and good luck. Called him Sunday night and he was being towed in cause he ran out of fuel. I asked him if he ever caught the fish and he said yes, and no. They finally got close to the fish and it was a whale shark snagged in the back. The whale shark never even seemed to notice it was hooked. Lol.
