I saw a guy catch one (about 5' long) in the Estero River, right
around the corner from the house on light tackle. He managed to get it
right up to the boat before he cut it loose. He really did not have a
good way of picking it up without hurting it (too big for a net, the
leader was not going to hold it and gaffing is pretty destructive) A
half dozen of us saw it. There are a few pictures out there but I
didn't get any.
