[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1925474, member: 85987"] There have been alot of bigeye tuna in the area you were fishing recently. In the deep the big tunas can be a handful. Last season an 86" bluefin beat up a friend of mine for 6hours. Had he hooked in 400' or less it would have been a 20-40minute fight. The difference was he was in 3500' He had the bottom of the spool showing for a long time. The fish died on the line around the 5hr 30minute mark and it still took a half-hour to reel it up. If they can stay below the thermocline they do not overheat so it can be a long fight on lighter gear. He was using a 50 talica with 80# braid. This was while deepdropping for swordfish. [/QUOTE]
