Tackle Box Essentials

Think big...Bring a Gaf just in case a 25 takes a swipe and you are not sure if you can swing it....

25# fish?  Only if the intent is to keep the fish.  No reason to harm a fish that's going to be released, I'd cut the line or break it off.

In the ocean that's a good possibility, but freshwater fishing in Florida not too much.  You may hook into a 25# freshwater snook or tarpon, one is over slot one the other illegal to possess.  A big jack is possible but again why harm it with a gaff.
