Patrick,
If you really are serious about trying this somday, how about doing some first-hand upfront research first?
Get a driver's license and a job. Save some bucks and get a car. Then save some more bucks and take a couple of Helen H or Viking or similar party boat trip for canyon tuna. You'll see how it's done, what it takes and if you're good and do the right things you may have a chance to battle a tuna yourself.
Gotta crawl before your can run.
