6500? That will get you about 3 minutes of fun and a smoked reel.
you need 30# of sustained drag for a long time and at high speeds and 400+ yards of 80# line. stella 20K on a terez is the way to go. those lower cost alternatives might hold up for a fish or two but that is about it. Think about how you will land the fish before you leave the dock.
Also...be watchful of others. The run and gunners are upsetting many of the offshore regulars. They go offshore to get away from you guys. DON'T run wide open into a school of breaking fish, work the outside slowly and be mindful of what other people are doing. You have Lot's of guys in big boats trolling, you have stick boats with spotter planes, Green stickers with a giant bird 1500' behind them, you even have guys who are even electrocuting these fish (really!) . Add this to the huge number of whales and you have all the ingredients of a master cluster F. It's a big ocean, spread out and find your own pod.
