Guys,
Had two of the biggest fish I've ever hooked into on sand eels today.
First one couldn't even stop on 75% drag on Nautil 7500 w/ 20# yozuri hybrid...took 30 yards and then nada.
Second one I got turned and then a quick headshake and nada...
Main question is this: I'm using sand eel Hi/ Lo rigs, I've been using them for ten years and never set the hook...They look like circle hooks to me.
Both times these MONSTERS went to run, and I bowed the rod tip and they were gone!!!
Maybe I'm watching too many Andy Mill shows where he fights tarpon?
Today was fun feeling big fish strecth the line, but it sucked losing them.
Later,
Rick
