No way
From the description Jehovah gives of leviathan in the book of Job, it is thought that this creative marvel must be that giant among reptiles, the crocodile. Thus a number of Bible translations of the book of Job such as J. Smith and Moffatt use the word “crocodile” in the main text for the Hebrew word liw-ya-than. The etymology of this word is uncertain, and it has been variously defined as meaning “a wreathed animal,” “one spirally wound” and “a twisted animal.” The word itself is believed to be nonspecific, so that the term could apply to any such great sea monster or reptile; however, because of the description Jehovah gives in Job chapter 41, the term there applies to a mighty reptile with armor and scales and formidable teeth.
The crocodile fits that description.

No, not with the hook that they had in the days of Job.
I wonder, though, if I had one of those whale-hunting ships (like the Japanese have) with all that equipment, especially the air-powered harpoon. THAT is some hook!!
