RFK,
I caught this one this summer 69 miles off Orange Beach Alabama. I was fishing Ram Powell, an offshore oil rig. I caught it at night while "chunking" for Blackfins. It was caught on a Penn 975CLS spooled with 40# Tuff Line. It was mated to a 6' custom stand up built by Half Hitch Tackle in Pensacola Fl. It took well over an hour to get to the boat. When your fishing Blacks and the Yellows show up, word to the wise, switch tackle. It weighed 178#s.
