Word of warning along with the rigs noted above do take that sixty or even eighty # rigs, last year on a 2 day trip on the AA fishing the albies, we accidentally came accross a school of big eye, and gess what over 2/3 of us hooked up almost instantly and lost the shish almost as fast considering that we were all using 12-20# string, all but one guy that was using a 60# tuna rig (which by the way we all thought from the get go that he was going to get skunked with that rig, no albacore would bite rope right?....wrong!) he was abouth the only guy that managed to stay buttoned to his fish, him along with just one of the trolling rigs. the trolled fish I remember was about eighty something pounds the baitfish I dont know but lloked much much bigger.
The moral of the story is just take that big rig, you never know whats coming up to chew.
