>>219440820-25 lb mono backer line. 15-20 lb flouro leader. fat chunk of skein under a 15g float. size 2 octopus hook with an egg loop knot. drift over holes until you get that sweet sweet bobber down. once you hook up hold the fuck on. let them take some line if they want but dont let them spoil you out. a good reel with good drag is worth its weight in gold. I use a saltwater penn spinfisher 4500. be aware of any underwater debris as they will head straight for it and snap you off. let them tire themselves out before you get the net wet because they freak out when they see it. just work them out good. it took me 3 years to land my first one. it's easy to get discouraged but stay with it and you'll be hooked for life.
