Nice catch but in the future don't thumb the spool. Instead, ease down on the drag and let the fish do it's thing and pedal slowly as the fish is coming up to the surface. My theory on this is that the forward momentum calms the fish down because they feel like they are in their natural state (swimming), this also helps keep them flat when you're ready to gaff them.

Again, nice catch!!
