So I guess my 550 SS should hold up for some Calicos then?😀.

I'm surprised that little inflatable boat didn't go down while pulling on that fish! The reel is the least of the equation.

Hey Sal,
Looks like Lee Ermey circa 1990 with one heck of a catch. ;D
Thanks

Sal I posted somewhere a while back that our local marine mechanic caught an 89lb Wahoo with a 750ss from an anchored boat. That's a feat with that big of a fish. Especially a Wahoo.
