I guess it depends...there are BIG tuna that are almost impossible to land at all...but I've caught a pile of albacore, and while they pull hard, and make "one" long run...mostly they swim in a big circle and take a bit to get in.

Landing them is not really ever in question.

If you want to talk "pound for pound"...then I challenge you to find fish that will fight much harder than a bluegill...if they got to be 20 pounds you'd never land one.

Fish on...
