Here is a short VIDEO of my fish of a lifetime! This is a fish I have wanted to catch since I was a youngster and knocked it off the list last week while fishing with my good friend Capt. Nick Stanczyk... Hope everyone likes the video its not too long... You can check out Capt. Nick by visiting our website at www.boobytrapfishingteam.com and scroll down to the bottom of the home page to book a trip! This is prob the coolest catch I have ever made and what a great time! Thanks Capt. Ahab/ Brett Holden Get Tight Suckas!

Wow! Congrats.

Did Nick call the shot before the bite or was it a fortuitous catch while targeting something else?

Either way, definitely a catch of a lifetime. Very cool.

Thanks everyone I was super excited when we saw what I had! Tghis was a dream fish for me.. I will be getting a reproduction of it for the office wall soon.. They actually have a 14 footer aval... We stepped off the fish and it was 13' with some bend in it so that will get it within inches.. Prob 14' streched out.. What a cool and powerful fish. Here are a couple pics... Thanks again Capt. Ahab

Good thing nobody was reaching down while on the boat. Could have lost an arm when he swung his head!

That was way too cool bro! Man, when it swung that saw around on the boat, coulda been REAL bad if Capt Nick was standing there. You my friend, are living the dream!

This is the dream fish for me to see/caught. I would be the happiest person in the world to flip off the side of my boat at a rig spearfishing and see one.
