3 yrs in a row(2012-15) one of us hooked into something at Partridge that while didn't reach the speeds described, spooled away/no turning it. Always in the exact same spot+-. I had $75 worth of fresh #80(1000 yrds?) Spectra on top of a half spool of Dacron on the Diana 910 big crank....once into Dacron really wanted as much of that $75 back so took chase and maybe 30 minutes later hook pulled. I assumed big halibut, but it felt like something bigger....There were 3 pilot whales around all day so had to entertain that idea. Going down Sunday for the first time in 3 yrs to see what we see. Have totally empty 910 and if it wasn't so expensive, I'd put a whole big spool(3000 yrs) on it and just got a 610 with the beefiest rod I've seen from Fred P so could put the big guy on the most badass rod I've seen and am rigged for Pliosaur....Ha. Foul hooked a big skate in Neah last year and that was a project getting it up....I hooked a 5 ft 6-gill in the 90's at lummi rocks on lighter gear and it came to the boat. I like the pliosaur idea...good luck out there, Tom
