Kármán gait. You're welcome, Sir.

Any rod above 5 m recommended two hands because the inertia is too large.

first, the reel doesn't catch fish. Most effective way in catching with a fly rod s a short line fishing like Euro-mymphing or using tenkara rod. Both method with or without a reel still out fish with a long line fishing. Tenkara rod is more effective in catching than fishing with a reel rod. Fish are every where. A fly fishing rod with a reel is a distraction from fishing.

@@TanukiFishing I guess you'd have to see the video to understand what I'm talking about. I still don't get it. But thank you anyway for replying. I do appreciate it. :)

​@@Merrytonic Tenkara rods use a "fixed line" attached (tied) to the tip of the rod. If you watch some of the above video again, I think you might notice it this time round. Typically this is a special tenkara-specific braided line somewhere between 7ft and 20ft long depending on the rod length and the particular fishing situation; it's generally a little longer than the rod itself. To this line a length of tippet (usually thin, clear monofilament) is attached and to this tippet the fly is tied. Once the fish is hooked, the angler draws the rod up from a position leaning away toward the fish to a vertical position (the rod now has a good bend in it). This eventually brings the line and fish toward the angler as the fish tires during the fight. At this point, the angler will usually reach for a net to land the fish (which has the effect of lengthening the angler's arm by a foot or two or more). An angler can also hand the line (grab it) instead of using a net, but it can be risky because most people are not very well able to cushion a late run by a large fish, which can result in a broken tippet or knot failure at the fly. Sometimes, since the line is a little longer than the rod and because the rod is bent, effectively making it shorter still, the angler will actually hold the rod behind them by extending the arm, which can bring the fish closer to be netted. Smaller fish rarely need to be netted (wet your hands prior to handling the fish to protect it's slimy coating which prevents bacterial infections in the fish among other things) and can be easily hand lined and released (mostly) unharmed. In rare cases, an angler hooks a real lunker and gets help from a mate to nets the fish or literally backs out of the water to beach the fish on land instead of risking a tricky netting. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, everything I learned about landing a big fish with a fly rod is totally the opposite of natural physics. In other words, it was wrong and exhausted the fish, breaking the rod...
