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...

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???!!!

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