Did not bend his 7.5mm Rob Allen shaft That fish put a ridiculous amount of force on his shaft. Davie will tell the story.

Thanks for the comments guys.
It was only 30lbs.
We were in 130ft trying to pick off some AJ's we see swimming up in the column. I was trying out a breakaway with a 60ft floatline so the fish wont be able to make it down to the wreck when shot. There was no current so no AJ's were around. I shot this permit right before I ascended since there was nothing else around. I thought it was a small one and really close so I aimed for the head. With clear blue water and no reference once it hit mid body I knew something was up.
I saw the shaft whipping like a wet noodle as it bolted away and thought for sure he would bend it. Thankfully it stayed straight, it's a new wong shaft and I'm used to using SS. On the way up I started to wonder if he could pull the 8l RA float I had on, when all the sudden I see it wizz right by me towards the bottom. He took it until I could barely see it. I thought I lost my shaft, line, and float until it started to float slowly back up. Then I had to pull it up braodside with GG swarming it. Harry dove down and scared them away. I guess I'll need a bigger float next time.

Good story. Do you think he would've pulled down the 11L as easily?

Nice Permit.

i think so. It pulled it down like there was no flotation and with speed.
