Brandon,

they do. Except for doggies where whenever it comes near to the boat, its already 90% exhausted. And they good for sashimi too ;D . All Amberjack and GT released unharm.

Thats a pretty good shot of the doggie with the yellowfin and popper in its gut. One big case of indigestion !

Yeah! plus having good fight with PE3 setup. What more can you ask  ;D

Halezan - without wanting to be critical, it's no wonder the doggies have no hope of being released if the anglers are using PE3. Not too many fish are going to survive a release if such lightweight lines are being used

Agreed (for doggie only). Others still survived ie: Amberjack and GT. Even Matsutani keep tuna's in coolbox while GT released. The only problem at that reef is, bombing did by Vietnam's fisherman at that areas. How I wish that this region fisherman can be responsible like your country fisherman
