[quote TheWhizzle]I was fishing on a party boat in Newport one year when I was a kid. I had the same thing happen to me, but it was pelican, and 30lb mono. Needless to say, he didn't break my line, and it took about 6 of us to wrestle that bad boy to the deck of the boat. Fun stuff.[/quote]
happened to me this summer when i went offshore fishing in long beach. Hooked a nice vermillion rockfish and as i was bringing it up a pellican tried swallowing it. I was able to pull it out of its mouth. Then later during the trip, one of my buddies snagged a pelican and as they were bringing it aboard to remove the hook, it slapped me in the face with its wing.
