got a ten ft ugly stick and an okuma epixor with about 325yrds of 50lb power pro on 50 yrds of 30lb mono backing. its not the greatest set up.. but its gotten the job done all year. till now. i cant imagine having to upgrade to a big reel and line combo. since guys can get 50 #ers in on less. im not out gunned.. i'm out matched. never dealt with anything that powerfull before. wish i knew what it was. it has me toiling with the idea that the last one was a small football. they have been known to be in that area.

also.. the probelm isnt the fight.. the problem is they are ripping the hooks out on themselves.. if i upgrade.. wont that just put more pressure on the hooked area and have em rip it out anyway? maybe try trebles or something..
