7/23 Tuna Grounds

[maquinapescado]

Hey Mike,
I'm #145 and on a PA. I can surf really well so I have really good balance and strong core. I've broke off #60 night fishing snagged on the bottom. There is no way I could put #60 pressure on something like a Revo. Even with the #40 high pressure I gotta get my gangster lean on for sure. It's a really good point. I wouldn't recommend hanging something big on #50 or more unless you know what you're getting into.


Thanks, Brian

I wouldn't troll w anything less the 65 braid and at least 80 pound floro. Preferably 100 pound floro, it's not about how much I can pull on these fish but the extra line abrasion I get for the heavier line.

I have 80 lb braid 80 lb floro setup for trolling who's going out next I'm getting ants in my pants watching the video of that guy land one

Use that drag to your advantage it's a matter of who will give up first. I've broken 80lb braid off on kelp with ease and I'm on an 11ft quest it shouldn't be a problem landing up to maaybe an 80lb fish, that is as long as you don't run out of line

Definitely agree. I also want to get bit though. I have a few friends that have been putting the big cows on deck of their boats and they can't seem to get bit on anything more than #80 with a couple on the #100. Maybe being on the yaks we have an advantage though.
