Thanks Craig.
A couple things I left out were... if you want to know what a whale's breath smells like, it is nasty to say the least. Fishy is a huge understatement. The other is, I hooked that cod a couple inches below his gill plates. He came up hard, but my Penn Torque 300 was up to the task. He did take out some drag a few times.
