It's actually not as much fun as they make out. Glad I did it but I have more fun pulling in a few 3lb trout
ive caught 15lb albacore and those are 1000x funner then 3lb trout to me. that shark i hooked up was way funner. i get what you are saying tho. on a ultralight rod with 2lb test catching a 5lb trout was pretty awesome and way funner then some of the heavier sting rays i have got on ocean setups.
