He probably tired because the fish probably gave him a massive fight which can and will tire out your arms a 5 pound catfish gives me an okay fight not to bad but there is a massive difference from 5 to 83 pounds
Pretty sure I did. But yes was tough holding tiny scale above head with dead weight by my feet after being woke from a sleep at 2am to fight a fish for 15 min haha. I need a sling so i dont have to hold it above my head
