I know all too well about those 8'6 rods... Too much rod for big fish! I won't even cast anything longer then 8' anymore... 7'10 and below for me.
Again, way to hammer the fish buddy! |
Stoked you finally got to see the report! Just following in your's and Glen's footsteps and John Delacruz and his crew got a lot of nice pics in an epic bite and all I had to do was tell the story. Panama man...look at those charts...its fucking unreal...I mostly did the pure scenics and background photos to try and fill out the trip for those who have never visited those waters as it is just SO beautiful there. You gotta get down there man, it's no more expensive than PV and the glory days never last for long til the seiners/long liners take their toll...John would hook you up and Diane would have a great time too I'm sure.
I tell ya, that lil 120lber stoned me and neither John D. nor I could raise his head once the circles under the boat started and at times I thought he was going to pull the rod straight out of my hands there was so much pressure. That extra length really multiplies the pain as Force1 x Distance1 = Force2 x Distance2 if I am not mistaken from my college Physics with a whole lot more distance on the fish side of the fulcrum. I did see another report where "high sticking" with a Tuna Sniper to vertical and the rod doing a full 180 raised a large bluefin for Kilsong's buddy (see 360tuna.com) so maybe I just needed to know and trust the rod more.
All I know is once we got that fish to the boat it was cervesas por todo and a great day on the water
. Thx for the reply!
