You'd need about 1,000 yards of 50lb braid to stop a 50lb BFin. You'd be spooled before you could say "sushi."

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Nah, with a real heavy surf stick and 50-65lb braid you could stop them, the trick would be putting maximum pressure on them and would probably bust them off, but it can/could be done
