I unfortunately foul hooked a 35 with a bucktail. I was using a vsb 250 on a Lami SS rated 2-6 with 50lb pp with 40lb seaguar and a breakaway clip. The fish was hooked in a good rip about 50 yards out. It took an easy45 minutes to get this fish in. It was a great test for all of my gear. I was real impressed the way the set up reacted to what was going on. The fish was hooked broad side and felt like a tug boat. I wasn't happy about keeping this fish as I did try for 10 minutes to revive her. But I was impressed with the overall set up and gained quite a bit of confidence in it.
