@tackle2thepeople: One of the craziest things I’ve seen this year fishing from shore. I was fishing in the Cape Cod canal and retrieved my jig after drifting it in the current. On the way in I felt a thump, so I set the hook. Immediately I felt the weight of the fish and knew it was big. At first I thought it was maybe a 40 pound striper, but that was when I saw it jump out of the water. It was a HUGE Sunfish, also known as a Mola Mola. The reason I was shocked was because the Sunfish was pretty deep in the water column. It wasnt visible on the surface of the water - my jig had to have been in at least 30 feet of water when I went tight. Not to mention it was a single hook bucktail Jig - pretty tough to foul hook a fish on the retrieve like that. The fish had to have been over a hundred pounds, because once it caught current it started absolutely dumping line. I tightened my drag as far as it would go, and not long after the fish broke me off right at the lure. #fishing
