Offshore Saturday night into Sunday. We thought we would be targeting Yellow Fin but found large Blue fin. We were out gunned. Stripped the gears on a Penn Slammer 6500 after a 2 hour battle, never raised the fish. All fishing was on jigs or top water no trolling. My arms feel like I went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson. I did raise a 5' ray with my new jigging set up. Very happy with it Shimano Grappler, paired with a Shimano Speed Master 16 ll speed. Going again soon hopefully with photos this time.

Exciting fight, I'm sure. Was talking to the Admiral last night about being spooled and how frustrating that can be. At least you got 2 hours worth.
