![]() ![]() The only reason I didn't fight the Tarpon mentioned above for longer than 30 mins is that I recognized what was happening and just broke the line. This actually happened a second time with the same setup several days later, and at the 2 hour mark, I just broke the line and walked away. My leader finally wore out and broke or I would have continued to fight it. For the Arapaima, using the 68lb bottom setup, I fought for 2 IRL hours and the fish never got tired so I could never reel it in. What happens, though, is that a unique does bite occasionally. I'm still working on leveling up and the bit rate for young/common to lower size trophy is higher, so I set my tackle up to get the most xp from those size fish and most often fish from shore with multiple rods. I don't remember the exact setups at this point, but from what I recall, for the Tarpon, I was running a 50lb match rod setup and for the Arapaima, I was running 68lb or so bottom rod.
