I caught Albie before on this bg 4000 reel, it was like reeling in a regular fish easily controlled and didnt pull my drag more than 1 or 2 secs before coming to me, whatever it is isnt an Albie unless i caught a world record Albie at 30 lbs lol Even the 30 lbs Striper i caught in the fall didnt peel me like this lol
