For me the fewer lines in the water at one time the better. Floatlines and reels are a no in my limited sphere of knowledge. I think very big fish can be landed with reels with some careful thought into how the fish is played, not that I have any experience of course. Bill Mac was telling me earlier in the year about how he uses the reel to send a WSB into the kelp for cover but eventually to get tangled up. Then he dives down the reel line to find the fish and dispatch it. Then cleverly he uses a CO2 dive float to provide buoyancy to help cut it out and lift it. Pretty slick stuff!
