Overnight on the Freedom PB Dodo

[Edgar]

Btw, what size hooks did you use for the chovies? Seems like the small bait has been producing. My first yft this season was caught on a chovie. I've been trying different hooks to see which ones work better. I just picked up a pack of Owner size6 light wire circle hooks to try out this weekend. I'm so used to the 1/0 2/0 3/0 4/0 for the dines! I always hated using chovies but it's the hot ticket as of late.

Thanx a lot bud! I was using owner size 4 flyline hooks with a 1/8-1/4 slider to get it away from the boat lol .

Great video,very exciting,noticed a couple of interesting things,seemed like you were thumbing the heck outa that spool,never saw any dodos jumping,and seemed like you backed up to the bait tank for the gaffing,believe me I'm not hating just thought those points were interesting,that was a buetiful fish and a great battle in that combat fishing style,WTG!

Hey there Mr Tuna Vic, the fish only leaped once right after it knew it was hooked , it was a little too far away to get a good view on it , but if you look closely you'll notice a splash in the distance after i hook up . About the thumbing thing, I have a pretty educated right thumb which is always on the spool, not for drag pressure though , i use braid and can almost sense what my fish wants to do when i have contact with it. I backed up to the tank for the gaff because i had about 10lbs of kelp coming with my fish also lol, so i had to guide it to the gaff quick, backing up was my only way to get the right angle. I try not to mess around when i have a decent fish on the end of my line !
Tight lines,
Edgar

Great video! What lb line do you have on? I have a Lexa 300 HSP with a Phenix PSW867ML spooled with 30 lb power pro which I love.

Thank you, I have mine spooled with 40b braid with a slight mono backing , it helps for THE SLIP but the most important thing is it doesn't DIG IN!
