I call BS on this one.
You set the hook on a fish that big on a rod and reel that small... You get left holding the handle. Not to mention there's no drag setting on a closed face like that reel. Not to mention there's no way at best the 6 pound line is going to hold up against weight like that.
I refuse to believe this story.

Darby,
The drag setting is on the side of the reel. Zebco makes a great beginner reel, they all have drag settings on the side handle.
Looks like a family portrate of obesity to me!
Sad.
