I didn't catch the fish and it wasn't on my equipment, but I can tell you that it was on a black fish rod so it wasn't as light as you would think and I'm pretty sure Dave uses 65lb braid on his black fish stuff. It took around 15-20 min to get him in the boat.

I never saw the meat so I can't comment on that. After they took the fish to the scale it went right to the cleaning station and I was washing the boat. I can say that from the boat I did see a sawzall being used at the fillet table
