nice work staying ontop of the fish and getting that critical quik gaff shot tho!

Lol. That little reel has way to much drag for than I need. I like to thumb the spool. Also, it's been my luck that longer strokes, thus the high stick, makes longer cuts through the kelp. Slack line, gotta catch up to the line after u pop a stringer lol. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Lol. But I can agree with the quick gaff shot. It's not always pretty.

Thanks for all the kind words. Fish are still there, just have to work for them. Get out there and get one.
