inside sportfishing
I saw a show where they were on a large party boat off some west coast island fishing Tuna. It was pretty wild. They were chunking and hooked up with some big fish that was spooling 50W's in no time, they were then clippling on a marker and another line to the reel and tossing the rod and reel over the side and would continue the fight. Right before they tossed it in the water they would lock up the drag. At one point one guy had 3 rods and reels IN THE WATER and was still fighting the fish. Eventually they landed the fish. Several of these were going on at the same time. Looks like quite a trip.
I don't think I have the balls to daisy chain Shimano tiagras and stand up rods in the drink, but they got them all back. I would chase the fish down.
