Later on Wednesday, line really starts zinggginng off the reel. Big Dude jumps up clicks off the drag and goes to set the hook. Immediately, he starts getting pulled towards the water. He sets the drag back and line keeps zinging out. Few minutes later, line slows down, he clicks drag back off and gets pulled back to the water. He goes to one knee to try and hold it but...no good. He keeps getting pulled. Sets drag back and line zings off again. After about 15 minutes, the shark is tired enough that he can slowly and with great effort back up the beach but still can't reel. As he walks back towards th water, he can reel. This goes on for maybe 20 minutes. By now a crowd is starting to gather. at about the 45 minute mark, there is maybe 100 people gathered in a semicircle watching the spectacle - including the Beach Patrol.
