Thanks for this thread and to all who contributed. Last night I loosened my drag and decided I'd take my time if it felt like a good fish. Landed a 40" =/- fish in Maine, pretty sure it was 40 or over but it has to be over up there. Measured it quick in the dark by myself with a led light and it was almost high tide and a steep beach with large waves so I did'nt have time to mess around if the fish was going to make it back in.
I've lost a number of fish that felt like that one with my drag tight, trying to horse them.
Only minus was it was'nt on my own wood but a sure strike bottle plug.
Thanks again
Pete
