The ocean regs for rockcod and such still allow multi gang set ups but draggin' rock cod up fom 200-400 feet is probably like dragging a deer thru the underbrush a mile. Screw that I'll just head down to the supermarket at my age. Crankin' a 4/0 Penn wide with a 2.4 gear ratio is just so much manual labor although the pressure change makes 'em float the last hundred feet you still gotta reel them to the boat.
Biggest Bluecat that I've caught was 30-32 pounds in a city park lake. Sucker was gettin' fat on a diet of bread and ducklings. I threw that mangy sucker back. It had fin rot all around. I'll bet those cats on the Mississippi or the Lake of the Ozarks are a different story though.

I know for a lot of years you weren't supposed to eat anything south of the Missouri river due to the dioxin contamination on the Meramac.
