I would go with something with more pulling power, like a 3/0 sized reel. Remember your on a boat not a kayak, you'll be competing with 60 of your closest friends. Avet Jx, Mx, Trinidad 16-20 would work good. You gotta get those fish in as fast as possible or else it's gonna be bad..! But with 60 of your closest friends....it might be bad anyways....
