Like many, I watch most of your videos and can really appreciate the sportsmanship of using lighter tackle. You make it look easy because you trust in all your gear and know just how hard you can pull on it.

50 lb mono is fun though... It allows you to use a stiff rod and really bounce the fish up. You can load up that mono and just sling your boat forward. Plus it's just so frustrating in LJ lately the dogs have been on point.
