Fight time was 3hrs, leader was 600lb, main line 60kg.

Running the 80W on 37Kg you would expect the longer fight times. Ive seen these Bluefin pull line at an amazing rate with the drag pretty much fully locked up. Pulling harder than a school boy after lights out

Matt Watson from the ITM Fishing show landed one of these out of a 3.8m Stabicraft and a hand line last season. Mad bugger he is that lad.
