Handk-lining a Hoo after I Blew up my old penn senator!

Lost a good wahoo when my Penn Senator failed. When I got home I tightened the side knob and it seems to work again.
I guess I stripped some of the thead on it.

Wahoo are always tricky even when your tackle works properly. An inch of slack and a headshake and gone. When I have to handline (usually long shock leaders) I try to put the line being brought in back into the water for safety reasons. Just have to keep it away from the motor(s). If you get tangled in the mono laying on the deck and a big fish runs it could be ugly. Also the water keeps it from tangling somewhat.
Nice Mackerels!
