313lb YFT caught with Shimano Spheros 14000FB???

[royboy]

I am gobbsmacked! Never thought it was possible, but leave it to our American cousins to achieve this in 2.1/2 hours......amazing what these spinning reels are capable of these days. I have a Spheros 8000FA that I cannot speak highly enough of......... never thought I would ever see this though.

Read on detractors, read on.......

Eish!!!!

Shimano Rule!!!!

Yeah Gerhard, got to say that there was a lot of "good skippering" here as well. Thing is, that is a MONSTER. The fishing gods ju-ju was there as well.

Must say that the Shimano spinning reels keep surprising everyone. Spinning reels in general....

Mmmm on that line? tightened the drag full and it still smoked? .. Either I need tatoos ... or need to spin yarns ?? .. sceptical me ......

Hmm thats some catch ..

I have caught various Yellow Fins on a Stella / jig master rod, a Spheros / Trevalla rod, and a Daiwa Black Gold / Penn Slammer rod ... all worked just fine however none of those YFT's were over 25kgs
