Tunanorth is on a distinguished road
Just got back from Alaska, doing the first field-testing of the still-developmental "Lever-Drag" Torque 300.
The really big halibut were not around for us, and the biggest caught by anybody was "only" 187 pounds, and the largest we caught was a "miniscule" 108 pounds.
Halibut are definitely not tuna, and the "chickens" did not give the reel much of a workout, although it did feel very nice and has some startling innovations.
Will be going out on a 7-day San Diego long-range on June 9 to give it a more thorough test on albacore, yellowtail and bluefin tuna.
