Thanks guys appreciate the kind words.
Bwana thanks for the info.After the 2nd session we did down scale on the leaders and tied 80lb flouro carbon on, yet we still had no joy.
After that session I had put the stella's on the lighter rods even at the risk of breaking them just to try tame those beast but I never managed to get out of bed to make the early morning session to test the rod theory on the last day
