Does anyone know the largest fish species ever landed with a rod and reel (no nets no cages no mechanical devices) by a human?

I would really like to know.

Probably a White Shark well over 1500 lbs. Probably go to IFGA, but they have pretty strike rules of no letting another person touch your rod or reel and much more.

yea thats what I'm talking about man ... who had hooked the largest fish on a rod and reel and brought it in, with no help... just his tackle and line and his dexterity...


I can't find it.

It was caught during the years that Jaws movie was around.
