...fish-and watch his smoke. The 70-lb. white marlin that died like a guppy on the end of 130-lb. line suddenly came alive when the rig was reduced to 30 lb., flashing across the ocean in wild greyhounding leaps; the 50-lb. wahoo that expired without a peep on the end of 80-lb. test lived up to his name on 20 lb.; the 10-lb. bonefish that rolled belly up on 20 lb. became a raging demon on 6-lb. or better still, 4-lb. test, ripping off line so fast that it sounded like a sheet...
