Fishing Tips - How to Fight Big Fish(and win the battle) 

Yesterday, i lost a really huge fish. That's why I'm here 🙃

I appreciate the tips! Thanks Chris

Exactly the right information we newbies need. Thanks for sharing this info. 👍😊

Now im gonna get my revenge 😈

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

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.👍

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.

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.

lost a meter long pike yesterday. Now im here ah ;-;

Excellent advice fishing Saint Joseph County river it’s full of possibilities my brother caught a 20 inch Pike or something like that

Incredible tutorial. Great job!

Thank you! Great help

thanks

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.

I lost a fish wrenching it like I was the Rock lmao

Like the info Capt

Thank you for the tips!

Very useful tips

Very nice video! Thank you

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

Very nice video!!!

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?

So you do point the rod towards the fish when he is making a run. I wasn't sure about that, thanks.

Thank you

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..

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

i was blue gill fishing and hooked and lost a 5+ pound smallie

Few days ago lost abt a 5-8kg pike😃

Thanks 🙏🏾 with this information im armed with no momster is safe!

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

Admit it we all came here after we lost a fish.

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😕
