That depends if they are using the correct WT rod and reel for said 20lb fish. If they are using a 14 WT, it really wouldn’t be too bad. If they are using a 4 WT, different story. There are light and heavy fly setups for saltwater just are there is light and heavy conventional, and spinning gear. I’ve watched some of my friends hook 45lb rooster fish on a fly rod and make it look easy. There are charter companies locally that will take you out to target 400 mako sharks and places all over the world to target 400lb billfish.
