I think those "whiskey barrel" type fisherman have the advantage by being able to hold 35# of drag withou a plate!! GEEEES!! I think it may take a miracle to beat MrBill on a tuna tango!!! I just better hope I catch another tuna like I did on a previous trip.. I think it was a retarded tuna!!! I looked for a helmet, but it musta lost it on the trip to the boat!! I bet I cranked and reeled for 2 minutes before it layed next the boat's hull motionless.... deckies even poked it to make sure it wasnt playing "opussum"...
