Are Temple Fork fly rods in the 12 and 14 weight sizes up to the task of catching school bluefin tuna?

The 14 wt TFO TiCr has the fore grip and is definately up for the job. I'm not sure about the 12. I just matched a Penn #4 from Ebay for ~$200.00, 500 yds of 50lb backing and a tuna specialty fly line from First Light Anglers to the 14wt. Remember that most fly lines are a little over thirty pound test strength.
