Three was it for me. I was done in an hour. Not that I didn't try any more. I went cold for the next 9 hours. Having to hold off a movement during that time frame didn't help. It's hard to concentrate when you have to go. I almost used a five gallon bucket, but didn't feel comfortable doing my business in front of people I had just met.
The drag fishing God's punished me the rest of the trip. I did try to jig down deep. For the heck of it I sent down a glow shimano flatside jig until the 665W hit the end of the spool. There wasn't any current at the time. That jig was glowing in about 1400 ft of water. I did this twice, slowly retrieving with no results. As usual, blackfins were plentiful. Bait for chunking was not a problem.
There was an older gentleman (74) that I intended to hand one off. I hate seeing someone get skunked. He was really nice and had a great sense of humor. He made a horrible mistake by putting 3-in-one oil on his drag right before we started fishing. He asked me if there was anything I could do to help solve his problem. It was 40 year old Penn 2/0. It was helpless. I couldn't get it to produce more than 3 pounds of drag after messing with it.
