Wanted to post this as it's a great accomplishment. Angler fought the giant for just under 2 hrs @ 32lb+ :o drag without a harness and the rest strapped into one still @ 32lb+ drag (total fight time 4hrs 15mins). Tackle used was a 450g Black Hole jigging rod w/ Jigging Master PE-8 and Varivas Avani 10x10 PE-8 line. Bluefin estimated to be 550-600lb class giant.
