Also pretty amazing you all made short order of landing those fish with what looks to be fairly light gear. When I say light gear, I meant a lot lighter than the 80's they usually fish up there and the broomstick poles. Looks like one of the poles was spiral wrapped too. That must make it a lot easier when fishing stand up, right?

I was there from sept.5-8. We had great fishing....The afternoons did slow down, but still there were enough bites where I would call it good fishing. Those times from Kil are ridiculous..not doubting them at all, but I would love to see it. Our last fish did come in fairly easy....I am sure if we were fishing in a few hundred feet of water it would have been different, but we hooked up in 60 feet. Those captains laugh hysterically at the giant tuna drama from other areas while they are literally feeding them like pets.

what do you guys think rod action? this was not designed for giants, thinking about bring in for long range yellow fin tuna and heavy duty jigging rod.
length is 5'2"(with Gimbal) and around 15oz.
