Nice! I hope to get to put one in my little ol seacraft this winter. Nice down here in NC, we don't have to go out so far sometimes to get the BFT. On the TV show they show them out 50nm or more but a lot of the time you can catch them with in site of land not to far off of the shoals. My old lady got me a penn Torque 9 billet aluminum spinning reel to free jig some of the smaller slot fish if they show up. 43 lbs of drag on a spinner in a 20' sc would be a blast. It is shallow enough to make the fight easy on the fish and they wont be able to get too much line out. Yours looks like a nice size fish, what gear did you bring him in on? 50's or 80's? Congrats on a nice catch
