i agree with mako and likwid about getting the fish bled and cooled down asap for better quality. stressing a fish out for so long is not great for the table fare of the fish.
as for you guys that want the experience of that big fish on flies here is what we used to do.
we used to take people marlin fishing and everyone once in a while we would get a charter that wanted to catch a marlin on fly. we didn't care because we were still getting paid and we wouldn't kill and sell the marlin anyway so it was something different to do. We would drag all kinds of teaser spreads behind the boat and off the outriggers and when we would get a one raised i would have the guy slowly send back the fly as i would pull in the teaser and that is majority of how we would get hooked up. yellowfin we would chum them up and have the guy have his fly chum line . i would imagine you would get school bluefun the same way.
someone said on this thread that luck isn't needed to land a 200 or 300# bluefin on a 20# striper spinning setup. i will take all the luck i can get on that one.
just my .02
good luck
