You crazy bastard! lol. Looks hellu fun man.
and the music you have in the video kicks ass![]()
guy like you jammin to tool.....whodathunkit?
you rule man...you really do
exactly. it's a legal catch once the mate has his hand on the leader. then we just cut the line right below the swivel. we only use circle hooks so once you relieve the pressure of the line the hook will fall out within a few hours. if not it will rust away in a few weeks. not harmful to the fish.
before when everyone used "J" hooks fish would get gut hooked or back hooked all the time. a lot more fish died just from the hook. i can't remember the last time a fish died on a circle hook that i've seen. rarely happens anywmore.
EPIC day on the water with my new RIU buddy. 6 for 9 on sailfish, 1 350lb. blue marlin, and 6 dorado. Video to follow. Headed back out today. Sick footage of the marlin and chasing down sailfish underwater.
