I have the same Saltiga LD 40 2 speed, great reels and have a lot of drag with a smooth fee-spool. The only 2 speed that I have ever experienced that cast like a star drag.
The Islander is such a good boat, very well laid out and comfortable. The crew kicks ass. This boat is actually the former Red Rooster II. This boat rocks.
This was a 2/0 Owner circle hook. I actually landed 6 of these on this trip, the biggest is 160lb and smallest is 75lb, the rest are somewhere from 90-120lb lol.
cool fish. the fast forward video was fun. those smaller reels would never make it here on party boats in Nj for the tuna. you would have to have 300 yards of mono tops if using braid. head boats don't care for braid much and I can understand. we don't use live baits either accept any live squid you caught just dead butterfish which is good for me-dont like to see anything suffer. people take 3 seconds to clean up the bait fish on the deck when you see them, don't leave them there so no one slipped please.
It looks like a PCH Okuma 801 rod with a Daiwa Saltiga 3521 reel, I have this set up and I land over 100lb tunas on seaguar green label fluorocarbon 40,or 30lb test line leader.

The fathom and torque do also.
You might need to get that scale re calibrated, but nice job!

What’s up Cody, hope to see your Dad on a trip this year.
Great video !!!!
Do you have any issues with fish popping off more using just a fluoro leader?
I have the same reel, Daiwa Saltiga reels are some of the best.
Unbelievable to hookup one after another that are monsters. Nice job! What size hook were you using?
