these guys had plenty of opportunities to beat me. the money obviously is never an issue for me.  i would have preferred to see all of these fish landed. you have to set the drags 30% at the start and be willing to push the drags to 50% if needed.  otherwise it will be a stand off, and these fish will eventually spit the hook. anything more than 20 minutes is trouble.

 Thanks Alan,very good tip on the drag setting. Not sure if you've done a tutorial on how to properly set your drags with a scale, but would
  you be willing to do a video on how that's done? I'm not sure if you have the reel mounted on rod and pull slowly,fast or what
  exact details are involved?

Single speed Torium with 6:1 gears... no wonder the deckhand had to pull on the line!  I guess they didn't have permits to be within 12 miles of land.

I was bewildered by that. Completely wrong rod under that reel or something? Seemed to be incapable of lifting the fish, no recovery in the blank.
