I am in Prince Edward Island, Canada for giant fishing.
I fought a giant with 450g/Shimano Tiagra 50W for a while, but I had to give the rod to mate George because I had cramps on my legs. George finally brought 1000 lb giant to the boat. The total fighting time was one hour. We didn't measure the fish, but 1000 mark is pretty close because the fish is definitely the biggest one I've seen in P.E.I. except Dennis Braid's 1100 - 1200 lb tuna.
