Here is a link to the YouTube video that was created this afternoon. The total length of the fight was about 15 minutes. You will see a boat dock on the left as the battle started. By the time the fish was landed, the boat dock was just a speck. The boat was moving at 2.4 mph so in 15 minutes it would have traveled slightly over .6 miles.

I figured the fish would not survive if released, so I iced the fish down and fillet it at home.
No sooner than I had all the rods set back out, a 12 pounder hit on one of the down riggers.
