Fly rod with 2 lb test.
Might want to go with a wire leader, though.
Preferable, titanium.

How do you real in a 2,000 pound fish? The rod and reel is usually an Internaional 130 mounted on a bent butt Tuna Rod.
It is fished out of a specialized rotating rod holder, reinforced so as not to crack the boat when tremendous pressure is put on the fish.(50 lbs of drag in some cases) 130 is the designated line strength of the reel, but today 200 lb braided line which is thinner than monofilament for the same strength is used.
Solid wire near the hook to avoid cut offs is used.
The reel has two speeds, 3-1 and 1-1 retrieve ratios. You have to put the time in, just like tuna fishing to winch the fish to the boat. -Tom

In the same way that porcupines make love. = VERY CAREFULLY.
