The above is consistent with what I've done on many, including the largest (87 and 83# respectively) goupers and AJ's I've caught in the Gulf. One small tweak: as soon as you have hook-up, be walking briskly toward the back of the boat (away from the structure). If the water is very deep, the boat is over the base of the rig, so up is as important as away. Short rod, stout tackle and good rail technique help.
