light line vs. heavy line

[gvanzant]

Tubinjoe: The reason for the #40 on the Farnsworth Bank is that the bank is a series of rocky peaks that stick up from a bottom depth over 200 feet deep to some at 45 feet below the surface.Hooked yellows immdiately swim around every peak they can find. I have been on sportboats over the years where 35 hookups occur with nary a yellow landed. When you fish the Farnsworth you do so with a hammered drag and it's a simple battle of your back vs the yellow. Sometimes one of those 100 pound bluefin also might appear from the deep and "carve you a new one".Yes,this is the time where #40 can be considered light tackle.
