The spadefish was tricked into hitting a piece of fresh clam, pinned to a 1/0 Gamakatsu hook, tied to a 30-pound fluorocarbon leader. Murphy was using a Penn Ocean Master rod matched with a Daiwa BG-30 reel spooled with either 40 or 50-pound Power Pro braided line.

I heard the Daiwa baitrunners put up with a lot of abuse, seems like it did a good job in this case. Nice catch!
