DM, yeah, i wouldn't think to do it that way either. It's a form of traditional take, also some commercial value in it. No messing with rods and reels, get them in as fast as possible and load the boat.
My Best Buddy from long ago goes out for them off the coast every year that they show up and he says that those Albacore will melt Steelhead tackle. I question him on that but he says that on lighter salt gear, they are terrific fighters.
Those weren't the biggest examples of albacore and they are just showing one way to do it.
