Had a buddy giant fishing next to us a couple summers ago, he was solo on his 34 Contender and hooked up on a giant BFT on a heavy duty spinning set up with a jig rod. He fought the fish for a couple of hours and realized he had to get home to his wife and new born for a dinner reservation they had, so he hailed me on the radio and we ran over to him and he handed the rod off to us. It was a brutally hot day so I stripped down naked and fought the fish for like four hours, we covered 13 miles trying to get that thing up but eventually broke off right before dark.
