Me to buddy
Yestedday I broke my tip of the rod.That is why I am here.
@@falconfurry6432 May I know what rod you are using
@@falconfurry6432 same bro
I feel your pain.
I appreciate the tips! Thanks Chris
Exactly the right information we newbies need. Thanks for sharing this info. 👍😊
Now im gonna get my revenge 😈
Same 👊
😅🤣 same with Bro, im a new Angler and many times ive got a Big Bite fish like Kingfish etc.. But dammit 😑 its always Scape and i notice my Retrieval is Wrong. So thanks For video..and nextime i get my Revenge 🤣😅
I’ve lost so many fish in the past, not keeping constant pressure and a bend in the rod. Even a split second mistake of stepping off the casting deck onto the deck of the boat, and relieving pressure on the rod cost me a big tournament win. Great pointers in this video.
Another great video sir! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I've used many of the techniques I've learned by watching your videos. Keep those videos coming!
I only just got back into fishing recently, I started off with Redfin and silver perch. But yesterday I hooked onto a huge cod and I fought it for a bit before it finally broke off. This will help heaps mate.
Capt. Chris, I just wanted to thank you for all your very informative videos. I have watched several recently after finding your channel. You do an awesome job with your instructions and explaining for anglers who are new to the sport. Thank you and keep the great work up!!! You are very appreciated
Glad to help
Good tips. Someone told me recently that if you pull in the same direction that the fish is swimming that they will turn back the other direction.
Hope I ll be able to use these excellent advices soon.Thank You Sir.👍
Me too I love fishing
Just lost at least two, possibly three tarpon last night and I was heartbroken. I don’t have experience hooking onto fish of that caliber so I probably didn’t fight them as well as I should have. Though for what is worth, after the first time I was laser focused on how I played the drag up until I just about got spooled. Then I had no choice but to try to turn the fish around with a little more strength and then my jig head bent out. Was a sad night out on the water for me. Hooked the first around 10pm and then the second around 11pm (I swear that thing was about 8 feet long when I rolled over and I saw that silver flash breaking the water so really it was probably closer to 5-6). That got the adrenaline going and I was out on the water with my buddy till around 2 before I got the third bite. This one was probably half the size. Of the others, a large redfish most likely since it never jumped out of the water but it also pulled drag like it was nothing up until the hook popped out. This one may have been a bad hook set or just bad luck for me. I have some experience fishing and have caught bass plenty and typical inshore fare quite a few times but never something quite like that. Probably a combination of lack of experience and underpowered gear. Lesson learned and I’ll never forget last night. Anyways that’s what brings me here. So I have a better shot the next time something crazy like that happens.
Better luck next time
Where were you fishing? Big tarpon can definitely spool you if you are not in a boat.
Chris Myers Indian River. Have fished there before and after but never at night like that. First time I’ve been bit by anything that big. Funny thing was that for the second bite I was in my buddies boat but in the heat of the moment we took too long to get her going to chase and lost the fish. Third time we started moving but luck wasn’t on my side and it just popped out. Still thinking about that night sometimes!
Ok
Incredible tutorial. Great job!
Excellent advice fishing Saint Joseph County river it’s full of possibilities my brother caught a 20 inch Pike or something like that
thanks
Thank you! Great help
lost a meter long pike yesterday. Now im here ah ;-;
I lost a fish wrenching it like I was the Rock lmao
Thank you for the tips!
That all made a lot of sense thanks! Lost my pb peacock just as I was pulling him up on shore. Line snapped at the swivel
What kind of setup did you have that required a swivel?
@@CaptChrisMyers I got some snap swivels at walmart because I like to switch out jerkbaits on the fly... wasnt an issue with 10 lb mono but broke off on 20 lb braid
Try the canoeman loop knot. Super fast, allows for lots of action, and I use it on 100lb fish. czcams.com/video/BxH1ZCvctgE/video.html
@@CaptChrisMyers thanks!
Very useful tips
I had a monster of a fight one my hands the other day and i only just started fishing again after 20 ish years. I manage to get it to the pier after a good 5min fight by doing what was said in this video but i also had to talk a few steps backwards as my rod isn't meant for the bigger fish. It swam under the pier and my line rubbed against pylon and snapped the line as i had the most tension on the line and rod that would allow me to put on it. I didn't care if i broke the rob i just wanted to land the it. I did get a bit of a look at it when it came close to the pier and no idea what it was but it was around 1meter(around 39 inches) long and had a green colour to it on the top of it. Still no idea what it was, but it was sure of a hell of a fun fight and has my hyped up for the next time i go back to that place.
Like the info Capt
Very nice video!!!
Thanks
Very nice video! Thank you
Good tips
Thank you! So worried ima ruin my first rod. So if they're taking line tip down once that stop bend er' back?
If they are taking a bunch of line quickly, I like to point the rod at them if it is open water and I don't need to force them away from structure. It is very important to keep that tip bent and the line under constant tension as you are pumping them in.
Does same thing apply on ultra light rod for trophy trout? I broked a 2 piece rod and now bought a 1 piece rod im afraid to snap it again..
I have a set of ultralight panfish rods we use in the saltwater all the time. One guy landed a redfish over 20lbs recently on it. I cannot recall ever seeing a rod break from fighting a fish unless the rod was pointing up while the fish was right next to the boat or someone grabbed the rod past halfway with one hand while trying to grab a fish. You rod may have had a defect or had some unseen damage. It is certainly a rare occurrence. I have myself and seen many others catch very large fish on very light rods. I would not be too concerned. if you are, get one with a lifetime guarantee. There are many of them that offer that. i have done thousands of charters and only rods that have been broken are from people kicking them while they are in the horizontal rod racks.
@@CaptChrisMyers the technique at 1:30 was exactly how i was able to land a monster striped bass on panfish gear. The thing had to be between 20 and 30 pounds and i was fishing for bluegills with the appropriate setup for that (size 6 light wire hook, and 4 pound leader with a 6 pound main line).
These techniques work!!!
Thank you
So you do point the rod towards the fish when he is making a run. I wasn't sure about that, thanks.
Admit it we all came here after we lost a fish.
So why should you point your rod down or parallel to the ground as a fish pulls drag? i feel like that can create slack in the line if done wrong
By pulling low and to the side, you can put pressure directly opposite the fish's direction of travel. Lifting up on a fish that is running away pulls at an angle with less pressure. if the fish is diving deep, then upward would be best.
i was blue gill fishing and hooked and lost a 5+ pound smallie
So the problem I’m having is, I’m fighting a fish with just enough drag to pull him in but not break my pole. But sometimes I’m Fighting the fish for about 3-4 minutes and by the time I get him in my hand, he’s pretty much dead from exhaustion
What kind of fish is big enough to break a rod but dies in 3-4 minutes?
@@CaptChrisMyers forgot I can’t use a metaphor or exaggerate in a comment section bc everyone takes everything so literal in the comment sections
I would say your drag is not tight enough or the tackle is too light for the size of the fish.
Few days ago lost abt a 5-8kg pike😃
Thanks 🙏🏾 with this information im armed with no momster is safe!
Keep losing huge fish on my boat and now I’m here lol
I just had a dream off fishing for Muskie on my ultra light wtf
wish i watched this before losing a 5 foot grass carp
Yeah I’m here because a catfish snapped my line
Pov: you just lost a big fish😕
