Right now for me, its all about jigging the canal.
It's that first part of the fight when you have a good fish on and she's out in the middle & down in the rocks, and she makes that first run. And you can feel the weight of the fish, and she's taking line even though the drags almost locked down. And she finally stops, and you get her turned sideways in the current, and you settle into that brief stalemate, where neither of you can do what you want. And the currents just ripping 4+, and just holding that fish is work. It's that moment where you either get her headed in, or she gets her head turned and keeps going. God I love that..
