Thanks Bert!!! This was an accident. The fish was following my bait without me realizing it, and smashed my lure as I was reeling it in to cast again, hit right at the boat...which left me with 0 line to work with...was a great fight!!
What were you fishing with in the first half on that baitcaster? I don't think I have seen anything like that before. At first I thought it was some kind of crawl or something
Bro use your drag, fish should never break your line bro, know you don't want hear it buuut you list nice smallmouth, and he's got price line and hook with plastic craw in his mouth. So easy to loosen your drag on a open bail or bait caster, great video!!!!
Drag was set, if it weren't for the waterfall you could hear the drag hitting, also that part was like 18" deep, so the fish were knocking on every rock...but yes you are right about the drag!!
