Thanks to everyone who posted. It does look like I stirred the pot.
I went up to sportmans this evening and found they had a pretty good deal on the 49L so I picked one up along with 1000' of 90# wire. Now I just have to find the right rod. Any suggestions? I know I have to go with a roller tip and perhaps rollers all the way. What do you all use and or recommend?
Thanks again to everyone, It's a lot of good info. Seems like common sense while dragging will keep you out of another man rigger(s). I cant wait to get up there and pull one of those bad boys out for a quick picture and then watch him swim away. Thats my idea of a great FG trip.
I also picked up another rod/reel and some leadcore for the berry. I have never used leadcore either so learning to use both the core and steel should keep me entertained for a while.(either entertained or pissed off cause a I keep getting snagged and watching my $ get stuck on the bottom. :-}
