“I’m going to surrender all my permits. I pay all that money every year,” he said. “Next time I catch [a tuna] I’m going to throw it over the side.”No, just carry a heavy-duty rod and a Penn 6/0. When he nets one, voila! - a rod and reel catch.
Just don't try and palm off a spinning rod and 6 lb test. :-)

LOL.... We fish for Halibut where I live.
I actually like the 30 pounders, but some of these monsters can get up to 200#. Those things can take well over an hour to land.... not my kind of fun... too much work. LOL

Uhhhh.... if its 800 lbs. he will spool a 6/0 in about 120 seconds. Better to use and int80 or a shimano 80W to be sure.
With one of my rods.
