when we get to the tile spot they start pulling out the electramates. so I think - tiles r deepwater critters but I didn't think we were in that deep water. so I ask how deep guys and they say 45 fathoms. I ask for a reel with no motor and they look at me like I have 2 heads and say allright. they give me a 4/0 senator w/ 100 pound braid. now they pull out 5 hook rigs and 5 pound weights. and I'm like - I had to open my bigmouth. theres so much current down here they need a lot of weight they say. we bait up w/ chunks of albie and as soon as the weight hits bottom i'm on. I wait for a few more fish to hit the rig - like a big sabiki rig - and I start cranking. I proceed to bust out a limit of tiles in the time it takes the other guys to catch a few fish and my arm feels like its gonna fall off. its like codfishing on steroids. the capt starts goofing on the crew in true fisherman fashion "look at this old boy over here - outfishin all yall" and gives me the nod
