Andy, not listening to the crew is one of the top reasons for lost fish. When fish are over 50lbs you can't make too many mistakes. Even on straight 80lb it isn't so easy to land these larger units.
Bad knots, old line, wrong rod/reel, wrong hooks, poorly maintained reels, wrong drag settings, these are just some of the variables that we have control over. Even when we get it all right as Capt74 said sh*t happens.
