Don, the Curious Journal did a nice piece on that fish. Chuck had an audience that day watch him catch that fish I wish I could have been there. Try to imagine landing 80lb blue in that curent with 12lb test, spinning reel and a Sauger jig. He had to wade out and get it after about a 45 minute battle, but he won. Luck involved sure, but also one of the finest epic battle of whipping a fish that a personally know of. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder Chuck but you down play it sometimes being humble. Don it's the beast in his avatar. Way more impressive that that 90 plus on 10lb Stren in my opinion. It's still number two all time with that line class though.
