Thanks Chris- that was strickly a chair deal, the 130 class tackle is too much for stand-up. I guess there are some guys that try and tackle them on stand up gear with 50w's and stuff, can't imagine that train wreck! From the reaction of the guys I was fishing with, the hook-up to landing ratio is very low for the guys with the light stuff when the bigger units decide to chew. Seeing how this fish had no problem with loooong runs against 45 pounds of drag on the heavy stuff, I wouldn't want to be the guy who brings a knife to a gun fight.
