I've only been on east coast shark charters and caught some big lemons. If that sardine choker in my original post can land a 1250 lb fish I think I could handle a a 200lb yellowfin... IF not I could always cut the line... Im ready to give it a whirl come spring time in PV...
On the fishing kayaks, is there some sort of harness you can strap the rod to in order to gain leverage on the fish?

I know when you are on the sport fishers, they use the body harness and strap the rod/reel to you so you can use your body weight as leverage. Just trying to figure out how you achieve just leverage in a sitting position?
