very nice. thanks for sharing, is that the big stella? looks like its got a ton of pulling power

[jiggaman]

yeah its the 20k. its a beast especially on that 52ex. I believe it does like 56 lbs of drag! scary.

nice setup. do you know what you had the drag set at during that fight?

[jiggaman]

usually when we jig the big aj's we set the drag around 30 lbs for starters, and bump up as necessary or until your back says no more. With those deeper water groupers, usually more (almost locked down) because you get one chance to move him out of a wreck in 725-815 feet depending on where we're fishing. Even with no-stretch braided and PE lines, theres at least 300 yds of line out and you can't afford to have any drag in the first 30 seconds of the fight.

30 # Nice, thats alot of line out..it kinda looked like you were moving from stomach to under arm pretty fast. was it uncomfortable in a certain position?
