It does suck.
When your usin 100# power pro and your hung up!
once a fish wraps around one of those branches you could have chain on your rod, you're still not gonna land him.
i run 20 pound trilene on my 11 foot bay fishing rod. i land 200 pound stingrays on it all day long. they spool me before they break my line. i've set the hook on some of those bad boys only to have them take off and never stop. i torque the drag all the way down and burn both my thumbs trying to stop them. the line runs out to the end of the spool then simply goes "ting" and snaps at the spindle. damn fish never even knew he was hooked. i can only imagine how big they are.

Ya, If I was fishing around logs or branches I might switch to mono. One good thing with braided is this year I haven't lost a lure or had my line break with a fish on.

I agree, but if your fishing the pads and get hung up on one real good, with braided you can just rip them from their roots.once a fish wraps around one of those branches you could have chain on your rod, you're still not gonna land him.

There are "those moments" though.But i get ya.
It helps me DRAG grouper over rock piles.You can put a serious azz whippin on a fish with a daiwa saltist 40h and 80# braid.

Boats are holes in the water where money goes
But really, that's not bad. I'm paying about that much to get my bike fixed & it's not even 'broken'... New fork springs, and a stator cover... + work = estimated 470... ouch.... forks are a bitch because you have to rebuild them
just so something doesn't rust, and so my suspension is slightly better.
pretty much all my fishing is done to prove my superiority over the fish itself.
we just catch 'em and let 'em go.

You and i have the same priorities.Check out some Goliath Grouper fishin on the west cost of fl on youtube.Maybe ya could come on down and we can get our smoke on and screw around with some 4...5...6...700 pd fish,mono-e-mono.This is FISHIN though,200-250# mono on a 9/0-12/0 with the drag LOCKED DOWN.pretty much all my fishing is done to prove my superiority over the fish itself.

Comes down to
If ya ain't got the skillz ta pay the bills,ya gonna get beat up from da feet up.............and that's how i like to fish.
Nice find.I dig those little salamander replicas.
14 yrs old i fought a ray down in the Fl keys,6 hrs later and 3 times waiting it out so it would come out from under all that sand they flic up on to them selves before it came to shore,est between 250-300 pds.Biggest ray i ever caught.

I still have a black eye some 20 years later,good fight.Steve should have trained harder.
Isn't it amazing that dude did all that craziness with so many animals that actually could have messed him up good and he goes the way he did?
