sorry but it is highly edited, i just threw this together. i will try to do a better version later.
this starts 10 min in to the fight .
The fish had taken over half my line and all i could do was just stand there and let him. i started to realize if i didnt chase him i was going to get spooled . so i locked down the drag as tight as it would go. Placed the rod in my holder and reeled all the other rods in. I went to pull the anchor and it was hung up so i pulled it up as close as i could get tied it to the front cleat and started the engine to back up and brake it loose and follow the fish. i still get excited watching it. That is where the video starts. i hope you enjoy.
