In my home port of Green Harbor, Marshfield, MA, (perhaps number one in giant bluefin landings on the entire U.S. East Coast) it's considered a sign of low intelligence to cast spinning gear at "footballs" (Bluefin tuna weighing 75 pounds or so) and get spooled. In Green Harbor no one with a three digit IQ brags about being spooled by a tuna.
Legal issues aside (your boat as well as your fishing gear, can be seized by the authorities) don't cast to a "football" unless you're prepared to lose your rig (mechanically your reel will never be the same again, not even VS reels which I use) and your dignity.
It may sound like fun to get spooled by a bluefin tuna but here in Massachusetts it's the mark of an amateur.
