I think initially there's some "romance" (for lack of a better way to put it) in the concept of that hour long battle for some guys, but after a few rounds of that most snap out of it.

Sign me up for the misery please and alot of it!

All in all it's pretty simple. Do your homework, and don't do things half a$$. If your goal is a 100+ lb on spinning gear, then be prepared. Don't plan on going out there with a Penn Slammer 560, 20lb braid, and a 7 foot light action rod. All your doing is wasting time and money, and resources ( fish ). Get the right tool for the job.

You wouldn't build a house with a toy hammer would you?
