Thoughts/opinions BF vs. YF

I watched a bigeye..of about 275# make a grown man in his 40's in excellent shape cry and mumble something about his mother and melt into a pile of "I can't take it any more's", on stand up 50# class excellent gear with a butt harness. 22#'s pounds of drag at strike

I have caught 148# YFT, 235# eye, and a 725# BFT on the same standup setup and harness. The YFT wins.

Haha good one because that has never happened with a yft or bluefin right?

I've caught 100lb YFT on stand up and enjoyed myself. I fought my first BFT the other day on stand up 50 and it wasn't enjoyable. Pulled the hook after an hour so not sure how big it was, Capt said it was market sized? Maybe 100 lb difference but i cast my vote to BFT. Don't want no more stand up with them.
