    I used to be on a longliner and it's awesome to catch these things but I found it a little soul destroying to be part of a commercial operation that wasn't very sustainable.

    Nice fish though veitnamcam, awesome stuff dragging one of those on board bro. That'd be a $10k-$15k fish on a good day at the auctions.
    What type of approximate depth off the Cape mate?
    I know everything is generic when it comes to these game fish.
