Still, I'm with you - what were they thinking? What were they going after and did someone recommend those (hopefully) two separate set-ups?

I think that these are potential students for PIER#R University!

Having been a TRUE GOOGAN for my 1st few beach trips(prior to GSSP) I can say I was self outfitted with super heavy black leaders, 3 giant J hooks on each rig, close to a pound of frozen squid and whole shell on frozen shrimp and 3-4 oz pyramids. 50lb mono on my giant penn senators...

Sometimes, people honestly just don't know any better. I'm glad the bird is ok though. I love birds more than most people..
