That's about right. Like YT, AJ's look for a structure to break the line off. As hard as they fight, The AJ's cannot equalize like a Tuna can, so once pulled about 100ft up from where ever they were, they start to get the bends, and about 90ft down the fishfinder frequently lights up with air if it's a jack. They will still fight the rest of the way, but it is impeded by air imbalance. Meanwhile, a tuna will fight hard all the way to the end.
