His tournament days are over. He's talking now.

You need us to come up and run a couple of them sows on their beds over at Casitas. If we put the dart in the mouth it's a fair catch ain't it?

Is that a real wahoo or a stunt wahoo? That thing is massive. How long to catch that beauty?

No downside to TROLLING 80 vs. 50 when fattys are around. Why gamble?

Just my experience here.

I landed 2 blues last September, on 135/400 and 135/200. I lost 2 on 135/150 and 135/135. They broke a leader and a double leader. So I think 80 is a little light for a blue. The larger blue almost spooled me and I was running and gunning with #30 drag on an avet 30 wide. Im fishing live bait #8yft or #10 skippies. I think the key here is the leader. Go #250+ on the leader and #80 backing may work.

The stripes are relatively tame as compared to the blues, so 50 or 80 is fine w/ an #80 or #100 leader.

All IMHO

good luck!
