I'll have to check in the shed, but I don;t think any of my gaffs have a 5" hook. That sounds a little big for fishi under 100#'s.
As for the 70# drum, it really depends on where you catch him. In protected waters they fight kinda like a pig. They root around on the bottom, are powerful, but once you get him started up don;t have that much stamina in my opinion. Now if you catch that fish at the mouth of the bay in a hard running tide from an anchored boat...you gots your hands full fo sho'.

Yeah I agree, the 5" hook part is not as important to me as the 6 foot length for reaching out. I think my current gaff has less than 2 inch offset - maybe 3 inches. At any rate it doesn't seem like enough offset to me.

Thanks Bass! We are still offshore rookies though. I've been to the stream on a big boat a handful of times but Iv'e only had mine offshore 2 days last year and 2 days this year so far - 4 trips total. We still have alot to learn. We've yet to get skunked so I'm definitely thankful for that aspect. Actually we've lost as many fish as we caught every time we went.
I still don't have the videos...another one of the guys has a cool pic of a freshly stuck fish on the gaff. I'll get it one of othese days...
