Hell of a fight, but to say it was 400LBS without weighing it?  I do have a question some nmay answer, in a case wear the kayak is the drag, would something like one of those drift chutes aid in wearing out the big monster?

I don't see how it couldn't help wear a fish down, but I could also see it creating one hell of a tangle hazard as the fish changed directions.

It would help, but it would also be a tanglement hazard. I straddle my kayak whn fighting big fish and do not want to get pulled to the islands of Bora Bora. You can feel the difference immediately. Tuna is on my list.
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

Nice timing on the video.  At KFM, we were about to release an article from Dave himself.  I just pushed the publish button on it.  Read what Dave himself has to say about targeting these large bluefin.
