Crazy american guy you wouldnt fish with!

[BassTracker]

This guy is using some of the biggest livebaits I've seen fishing a river, I reckon you'd need to stick something in your ears though if you wanted to fish with him.

Not sure he has heard of a Drag system. can't help think if he actually used his drag the rod Might not of snapped!but ear plugs would be great.

Stupid american.

What did he think would happen when he rested his rod against the gunnel under full force of a big fish.

locked drag with 600lb groper and rests his rod on the gunnel...

This clip has been covered before, with much the same 'shake of the head' attitude.

i think i would just push him overboard .

i agree with u guys. but hes also using a full graphite rod. most shows when you see them fighting the goliath grouper use a blue marlin outfit rated for 200lb. i mean literally broom sticks. they are also a composite. fiberglass graphite mix. but i do agree the guy was an idiot putting his rod on the gunel. alot of the fishing shows here button down on the drag for the goliath groupers due to the fact these fish can weigh upwards of 6-700 lb and when they realize they are hooked they tend to swim immediately for cover be it pilings or bridge supports. so they try their damndest to pull them away from such structure. they also use 200lb braid and usually steel leaders. the reel hes using looks to be an avet 4/0 wide. were not all stupid. lol. were all fisherman and we've all made mistakes. although probably nowhere near this guys. just an opinion i dont want to rile up anyones feathers. remember there are no enemies in the brotherhood of fishermen(women).. unless of course theres a tournament.. then its war!!! :laugh: jk.fish on
