Ryan and Tom landed bigeye in 130 -160 lbs range caught on jigs within 10 minutes by using heavy drag even though they used long 7'9'' and 8' jigging rods and 3/0 size jigging reels. It confirms my belief that light drag kills you, not the size of reels or length of rods as we can use the rail of the boat.

Ksong,

I see the Newell reel in the photo. Could you take a moment to go over
the rod,reel,line set that was being used?
Thanks in advance.

Kev.

I was on the Jamaica last year in late September on the west wall of the Hudson and we got slammed by a school of eyeballs at first light, they spooled a number of reels but one guy managed to get one to gaff that weighed 270 or so. powerful fish
