A friend's uncle caught one of those giants off the Cape; laid out it more than covered a large picnic table.
Impressive and dangerous fish.

I think you can tell by the clubs shown the respect they had for their prey.

Thank you Barry. I didn't know these existed. I learned and like them.

european & american fishermen also can use them, they call them 'priests' - for the reason mentioned above. they tend to be fairly short versions of dcudgels we would consider weapons...

this one is from amazon, looks like a nice yew one. not quite as nice as the pacific northwest ones tho. they look like they'd fall into the 'arms' category, or at least dual purpose.
