We used to fish off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. A woman we knew had caught a Blue Marlin. She had a harness on and her reel was hooked to the harness. She stood up when she got the fish up to the boat. The fish had a burst of strength and it jerked her overboard. She described what it was like to see the fish ahead of her, dragging her down deeper and deeper.

The fish was pulling so hard she could not raise her arms up to un hook the reel from the harness. Finally she said she was able to wriggle one shoulder out of the harness and then the other.

She made it back to the surface and she was rescued. The others on the boat said they would see her for a minute or 2 but then she was too deep and they lost view of her. Luckily the boat was near when she finally made it to the surface.

this is why good fishermen(women) always wear a sharp knife on their belt . Especially handliners
