I can tell you this, when you get a big one on it is a finess thing. When they shake their head hold on, when they stop grab and pull! This is with sharks so I have no experience pullin big tunas up. But I can tell you this that they do give out pretty quick, but so do I. It's hard tuggin on a hand line because you get no rest. It is just an all out brute strength battle. The bahamian guys I do it with are quick. They can get a big grouper up in seconds and a big shark up in mins. The biggest I have pulled on was about a 250# bull shark. It helps to know how to wrap up the line and hold on when they make a turn. The main advantage is that they are draggin the boat and that seems to wear them out quickly, but then again you are also pullin hard. Good luck and bring us some video!

I think when I get this thing going I make pack a kimber .45 to either shoot the fish or my self. Well We shall see what happens. I think I have a decent crew to try this one out with. So if I do get into trouble someone will be able to help me.
