I don't know what is on that shipwreck, but we went out a few weekends ago. I caught a 25" cobia. Small weight and flat lined a cigar minnow behind the boat. I was off of the wreck just a bit. Whatever was down there took off with the line and eventually broke it. Could not turn them around for anything. 30# braid and steel leaders and still snapped like twigs. Thought my poles were gonna break. I wanna go back with some heavy duty tackle.

Most likely a shark or one of the many resident jewfish
