Before rods, reels, or even man: the Dunkelosteus
There are a LOT of fierce creatures swimming around in the ocean but none today, not even sharks, are like the prehistoric Dunkelosteus.
Before anyone blows this off muttering "prehistoric sharks" note the fact the Dunkleosteus pre-dates sharks by about 100 million years! It's estimated these brutes lived somewhere around 360-415 million years ago in the Devonian period and grew to over 30 feet which is around 10 meters although it was more common to find specimens around 6 meters or 20 feet.
