Doug, that would be me. You are only as old as you feel, and I felt pretty good after catching that big cow. I got a rare opportunity to do the hooking (I am usually driving the boat on the troll), since she was part of a double header and Capt. Fred was already busy. She was totally lit up blue, took a couple of tries to get her hooked. Something had bitten some of her tail off not too long before we caught her, that may have made her slower and made it a bit easier to get her to the boat, but she still gave me a pretty good tussle.
