Back in the 80s I fished with a friend out of Plymouth. He had 2 boats; a 26' (I think it was 26, may have been 28) Blue Fin and a 35' JC. Both boats had fighting chairs and never once did we tie the fanny bucket to the fighting chair. We'd be running between 60 and 90# of drag too. Then again I was only in my 20s back then.
