Well done and a nice fish. Gotta love the iron. Spectra with the
Short top shot takes a bit of time to get used to. Like others said A softer rod and lighter drag can help absorb shock. On the other hand Using a bigger hook and trying to pull their faces off has its advantages. You mentioned that you were on the fish for an hour. Every second you're Hooked up the hook is wearing a bigger hole in the fish's mouth, line is Stressing, dogs are watching, you mite be getting tire. Its a ballance between Caution and agression.

Thanks Mike, I guess I need to keep workin at it and I'll find that balance. I was too wiped out at the end of that fight to really horse that fish up though. I guess he beat me.
