Right on thanks for that. I'll have to check it out for sure. Not like I need another rod but I'm still looking for that "perfect" stick.

Great video and congrats on the PB. Every legal hali I catch freeks out when I gaff it. That fish was cool as the fisherman.

Patience in bringing him in and perfection in gaff, clip and hook removal...
