noob alert, first report

What bait brown,blue or greenback mackerel, smelt? Were you fishing with any weight or on the surface? I had a similar fight a few weeks ago on a dropper looped greenback. I'm pretty sure mine was a thresher.

Sorry! It was a smaller greenback, with a 2 oz carolina rig. I dropped it down to the bottom and was just drifting while eating some jerky. I was by the 2nd set of lobster buoys and on a orange tarpon 120.

Hmmmm by the lobster bouy???? Let me guess coincidently he was making runs with the swell????

20 mins in, the fish starts to run again, this time full speed! 15-20 head shakes. At this point he has taken about half the spool. I'm fishing with a Daiwa LD30 with 25lb P-Line.

I have seen guys out there fighting the bottom, this sounds more like a BSB.
