Ah the good old days, 40 pounders in the surf in the daylight hours

40lbs?
Maybe 25. but very cool video.
Just goes to show they even exaggerated on TV back then!

I gotta start speeding up my retreive

yeah, that guy was going crazy on the retrieve. :bl:

So much for "DON'T TOUCH THAT DRAG"!Absolutely incredible old video.Thank You very much.

wow....what a spot burn!!!

Loved that video and the others that were posted with it. I fish mostly with light tackle for schoolies, but those clips made me want to start fishing big plugs on heavier tackle. This might mean that I may have to go buy a lathe!!! ANOTHER HOBBIE???!!! :doh:

wow. great video. nice post

Wow, that was terrific. Thanks for posting! What a line "Fish are always where you catch them".

I'm sure that reel was no more than 3-1, you had to crank fast.

Was it TV or the fisherman?

I,ve seen it about 50 x's aleady. I never tire watching it.

Sorry - not to be negative - but is it just me or is that video a set up.

First, the guy "fights" a supposed 25-30LB fish and he has NO problem at all reeling it in very fast, his rod hardly flexes and pulls forward, he doesn't have to pump the fish in at all - and then he hauls an obviously dead bass out of the water. Maybe it's just too late and my eyes played a trick on me...:huh:

my favorite line: "fish is always where u catch them"... found that funny :)
