Wouldn't catch me on that boat with him, too hyper for my taste. I thought he was going to fly off any minute :-\....nice fish though.

Great Vid 8).I do have some ideas for that rig.Get some rod holders that don't keep spinning,and slow down if U get thrown out that rig is not coming back :-X.If U fish alone :-\ wear a PFD and a harness.

thats how we fish here. as for the rod holders they swivel to follow the fish,we even use swivel tips on the rods. we mostly handline,  youd be supprised how fast you can get the fish aboard. that bruddah is a tough dude.
