Well done to Ben for his pending record. We were in radio contact with them throughout the 4 hour fight. Met up with him at the boat ramp, and he looked absolutely exhausted. Ben was saying he had just about given up on getting the fish up. It was either the fish, line or him that would break. Ended up Ben broke the fish.
