Ive had friends fish for them on 15-30 voltaeus Rod,, and a Shimano TR100... 50lb power pro and use a 6 foot 125lb steel leader. a cup helps to

His fish weighed in the 175lb range

Id use a standard heavy YT stick 30-80lb range , 50 - 80lb spectra, tied to the steal leader with a strong swivel. Reels are an open book, shimano tld 2 - or even a big Pen Sen 14hl your thumb is the best drag youll ever use. let them pull you around for a while.

be smart be safe. release females, keep 1 a year, nothing over 200lb.

and go with someone who knows what they are doing, if you took a tail to the face you could be found laying on the water like a kelp patty. (maybe even a bonita or mack under ya!

) We fish for them in 2 person teams to be safe.

have fun.
