This season when fish have been making long runs, ive started to smack my rod. As soon as i smack my rod the fish stopped dead in there tracks. I dont have a lot of experience doing this , but every time i have tried it has worked.

Thanks..
The old adadge, U have to pay ur dues.Still applies.
Sure u know of the story of the guy with the white rod,reel upside down,landin a 48 lber on a scup rig in the middle of the day.(True story)Thats fish suicide.U've read all the books, u have the right gear,U learn ur favorite spot, u know where they will lie.An when the big girls come by,U loose every one.Sooner or later u have to figure it out.Or take up golf.I think every good angler has lost there share of good fish.Face it if u where not a good angler u would not even have the chance.It's all about balance an scales.U can't win em all..I remember one time Livelining a Bad (good) jetty.I broke four good fish off in a row.I went to 80 lb braid an 100 lb leader with the intentions of standing em on there heads an draggin em in.I figure I a 250 lb man whats a 50 lb fish gonna do to me.
Ha..Said the fish..
I came to the conclusion that brute strength is not always the answer.
Next time it happened to me I just let em go an killed em on the end of the line.Dragged the fish back 30 yds.6 inches at a time

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
