giants in the canal - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Complete hypothetical, lets say you had the chance to get somthing in front of a tuna in the canal. What would be the bait to cast to them, and what would be the tactic once they started peeling line.

I would guess to get up to the service road and take chase, but at some point you would have to apply the brake to turn them. What can you do to stop a tuna?

I trust my gear with stripers, I know what I can and can't do, but that is bass in current to 30 lbs. My PB in canal to date is 32.

What would you do if hooked to a tuna? I have never caught a tuna, be it boat nor surf.

In the Canal? I'd reach for my folding scissors as fast as possible and save as much of the spool of line as I could.
