Thank you very much.

What would that line be made of? Does monofilament come in that
weight?

Yes Mono does, but I would probably use Spectra, as you could get a lot
more on the reel

And is your average trolling rod (assuming a skillful fisherman) able
to handle a 900kg fish? I would be curious if you had a
recommendation.

Remember your only fighting what the drag setting is on the reel, the
bigger the fish, the "longer" the fight, not more pull against you. Any
good bill fish rod will work

Would you also need a boat with a strap-in fighting chair, as used for
marlin, etc.?

I don't know of any other way a man could endure such a long fight with
out one.

I have landed 600+ lb sharks from the beach using just 20 lb line, with
my drag set at 15 lbs, the fights took hours, and wore my butt out just
holding and cranking against 15 lbs. (knowing how to make a fish turn
back to you, ( at least for a while) to gather line, is the key to
landing these guys from the beach, otherwise they just spool you (take
all your line to the end, and braking it at the reel)

Thanks for answering a curious neophyte's questions.

Regards,
Matt
