As I watched the Shimano Terez rod and Avet MXL MC reel set up disappear into the water, I realized the leash was still attached. Grabbed the leash pulled the rod back in and readjusted the drag and ended up landing it. It's amazing how quick one can loose hundreds of dollars and a nice fish. Thanks for sharing.

Totally... it was weird. I guess I got enough angle on it to keep the rod but engaged.
Another reason why I like cheap gear haha that setup TLD 15 and UglyStik was only maybe 150$ total. Has no problem roping blacks well over 100 lbs.
Thanks for watching!
