Once you hook something that big , you have to work it. Rod down, reel in... Rod up stop reeling. Try to walk backwards with it and then reel in as you walk up. You shouldnt just reel and reel bc I can hear your drag, that's let's you know your not putting line back on your reel. I have a VAn Staal 250 and 350+ yards of 20lb on my cobia rod and I drag everything I hook in. :) go fishing more often. GL
@SSSDiaz7 shut the fuck up your a lying bitch you've never caught a fish in your life so stop talking shit about power pro cause you keep changing the LB test and saying a bunch of shit like waiting for some1 to agree with you
@mrops333 Since when did I ever change the story, I was asking for anyone who was willing to make a guess as to what it is that I lost on my rod. It ran 200+ yards in 8-10 seconds, it was power pro 100lb, I locked down the drag completely and cuffed the spool and the line popped. So whats your problem asshole, were you there, mind you that was like 2 years ago if I remember, and you still had the nerve to write back talking shit like an internet tough guy and for what, go argue with your mommy.
i have finished all over an most types of fish... an i have never used shit like 30lbs line is what i use on my bait rods an its power-pro line that shit is the best .....man you need to know what to do an how before you go out there an try to fish....... punting on bait like that 5-8'' baitfish = 50-100lbs ????you should have stuck with shrimp like all the other newb's!!!!!
you lost a fish on 30lb spiderwire. You suck.. You should never have let the fish get a chance to drag all the line out and for 300yd too dang. That 30lb Spiderwire is really heavy stuff. Next thing to keep in mind don't let anyone touch your gear like you had the mofo did when you are reeling. Tight that drag and winch it in calmly and used the rod as leverage to pull back to reel in some line, you may have to do it constantly. If it was a really big fish line or rod would have snap long ago.
what a idiot toss that piece of junk rod and reel over the edge get you a peen 850 or a Shimano STL20000SW put 30 lb braid on it and land the fish . mr reninssions i would not even admit to using a piece of shit like that to catch bait haha my penn 450 ssm has more gut's then that dude rig haha

I am 12 so u may not take advice from me but I have around 100 lures 5 poles n 50 lb spider wire test but u need to tighten the spool tension a bit more but not too much the pine could snap
NEVER and i mean NEVER tighten the drag while fighting a big fish like this. Should keep the pole up, and keep a firm grip on the handle of that reel. Let the fish tire itself out and eventually you'll be able to slowly reel it in. Patience is a virtue.
Yeah this guy sucks at fishing!! haha you got 30LB braid with a $20 reel that has prolly 8lb of drag at max hahaha what a chodeeee, get some real equipment and then go fishing buddy lol
Hooking the fish is half the battle. The way he was playing the fish clearly shows he's a beginner. He should be pulling the rod up and reeling down. Anytime you pull up, it creates pressure on the fish which tires it out faster. Anyone with fishing experience can tell you that. I was able to land a 100+ pound sting ray with 20# mono. It took me 45 minutes, but it did tire me out. The other important thing is to use good hooks and a strong leader.
This sucks soooo bad !!! I know the feeling. It is usually when you get something that you were not prepared to catch when this happens. Anyways he could never have gotten it up to the pier.
How could I have stopped such a potential beast, he just wouldnt stop, not once did he ever gave me a chance to collect some line, could it have been a sword fish, or a ray, mind you it was pretty good equipment, and most importantly it poped 100lb powerpro, I had a live grunt thrown out there, could have been a cuda too, just cause the damn thing was so fast.
I had one worse last week, I was on a dock in Key Biscayne, FL and the reel took off crazy, funny thing was the drag was pretty fu*** tight cause i had a heavy rod so didnt worry too much about damaging it. Anyway it was 100lb power pro braid and the damn thing whichI was not able to see almost spooled my ass completely I had to completely lock the drag up to not loose 275 yards of power pro and the damn thing popped my line. It took about 150 yards in 8-10 seconds, what could it have been?
jjpear why couldnt it be a shovelnose or a leopard shark...even a big ray would of took a live mack...thresher arent the only fish that take live mack...
kuz threshers yank n take off but shovel nose takes of slower n ray takes off but settle down in da sand ya feel me we have lost plenty of thresher to no wat dey do
a big bat ray isnt gonna settle in the sand once it knows that its been hooked...and plus even a little 30 pound ray could of spooled that guy....and the chances of it being a ray over a thresher are pretty good since those guys are fishing rite behind the break line...
Did his line pop, didn't look like it. Thats why I use 100lb Power Pro, with a 100lb steel leader at the end, and all my reels hold in excess of 250yds, and all my rods are up to the task of bringing in a shark if necessary.
thats 30lb test line i can do way better with 20lb test line, u barely had any line in ur reel. u need to throw that reel away its a piece of shit u need a reel with power, that didnt have any what so ever.
1st, you have no skills at all with the way you handle your rod and reel. 2nd, throw away that lousy reel and get a new one. Look like a cheap reel for little kids use.... hahahahaha
@skateguts So true morons..people dont know how to fish....that reel is for is not for big game saltwater fish..its probably a big shark on there..it just chewed right threw there leader.they need a steel wire leader and 50 or 60lb line mono or braid.
Most likely a ray, with braid your drag needs to be set just right to land a bigger fish. Its cool i got tooled on the pier befor crap happens you learn from experience.
Keep tension on the fish by keeping the rod up, drag slightly tighten, and tighten the drag as the fish goes out further out. It's 30 lb line. If the fish is too big, it's going to brake any way but at least you'd try to tire it out. He was letting the fish run like he had small lines.
control the drag and never stand right beside the end of the line I was fishing and this guy was watching right beside my rod end and when the fish jumped he got hit on the head (would have been harder if iteh line had bronken) tighten ur drag too i think it will get a birds nest(almost immpossible on a spinning reeeel
let me give you a advice...never hold the top thing that has the line in it...you did that...that's why it snap off.trust meh even 80 pound line can do the same thing if you hold that part on the reel and yeah imma sure it's a sting ray..cause how it pull.i can tell from it and yeah i've experience it before.i caught a 500 pound monaray and a 200 pound sting ray and they both run exactly like that..well i've lived about 30 minute walk from the ocean or beach only..so i go fishing for those alot
Well if he didnt tighten uo the drag, that he was going to run out of line, look closely its not a baitcaster, its not like he has 300+yds of line to be giving to this big catch, sooner or later it would have dumped his entire spool into the water and woud have snaped it at the very end.
i kno its a spinning reel, and i noticed at .28 seconds he tightendup the drag. but it realy didnt matter i dont think there was nothing stoping that catch. i use power pro line 30 lbs test and it has the diameter of a 10 lbs test line, and use a 6500 series shimano baitrunner reel. and it carrys at 200+ yards well thts i think it carrys not sure on that one. but i did have a sturgeon empty my reel.
I use 100lb braided, 20lb diameter Power Pro combined with a 24 inch 70 lb leader for those annoying barracuddas, and let me tell you I have not lost one Barracudda, biggest one i caught was 47 pounds and it ran for miles. My setup is so strong with my rod, line, and leader that I mistakingly pulled up what appeared to be a goliath grouper, and instead it was a humoungous coral/rock from under the ocean floor, and the line was 100% OK. It was pretty cool.
the reason y u lost this fish is because u were tighning the drag!!!!!! if u were smart u wouldnt tignen it let em take line out ull get em tired eventually!! take this tip in consideration cus ur gonna need it
you should have set the drag way higher and don't reel when the the fish is swimming away raise the rod up and reel in while you pump it down if you don't you will get line twist
Tighten up your drag, Hold your pole up when it's running. Palm your spool,Pump him in, reel on the downward pump.The reel is only a recepticle for the line not to bull the fish in!
I would put $20 that it was a bat ray. I fish for them with a 90J and a TLD 20/40 with 300 yards of 65# powerpro with a topshot of 120 yards of 40# pline.They sure do have some shoulders. You guys saying the drag was loose, how the hell would you know if the drags loose? were you there to set it for him? And you guys saying its a permit learn ... theres no permits in california. As for a white sea bass, you have to be lucky as hell to catch one on a pier, let alone one big enough to peel line.
Mobait...You can heeeeeear the drag spinning, also he's reeling and reeling without gathering line,while he is already spooled he keeps turning it,that's how you know,I've seen lots of farmer in my days and it not hard to spot one !!! When your a farmer like this guy you wouldn't know any better.
I think your right though he must of been hooked into a bat ray !
Mo,what are you looking for a mathmatical equation!The drag is either broken or to loose,when he turns___thhhhe___ handle___ the___ spool___ spins____and yooooooou___ can hear the clicker clicking,did you get that!Also his bail is____not____gathering line.When the drag isn't tight the spool just spins when the handle is turned and almost all the time you can hear it!I think your to smart for your own well being,some times things are very simple!You don't need meters,gauges,graphs,JUST SAVEY !
ill go with the majoirty on this one. u could have landed that fish but u didnt give it enough stick tighten the drag then give it some pumping an u would have had that
Which reel was that? Let us know so that we don't get it. *LOL* j/k. For my fishing, I swear by my Jarvis Walker 6' rod & my Okuma Epixor 55a. They're not really expensive and ya bring in fish like nothing. The setup will run about 120 bucks.
Wait, you were using a live mackerel, and this is in California? It is very possible that a seal may have taken it, as is often the case in Ca saltwaters. I also note that throughout the video, there is no movement (jerking) in the rod that would indicate head shakes and thrashing - activities common for a hooked fish. There is a strong possibility that what you had hooked may not even have been a fish at all. Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits the touching and handling of seals.
First of all, why are you reeling in line then the fish is running and pulling in drag - with the use of a spinning reel, this can cause the line to snarl and twist BADLY. Heavy snarls compromise the structural integrity of the line, resulting in eventual breakage. Your next error is in the way in which you fight the fish - with a well set drag, hold your rod up high between 9 and 11 o'clock. This will eventually cause the fish to tire. When it stops, gently pump the rod and reel down.
Try to be as gentle and slow while pumping in a large fish in order to DRAG it in without startling it. Startling a large fish can result in it making another long and heavy run - something that you cannot afford to do if you have little line left on the reel. Do not attempt to be a macho showoff - this causes a lot of breakoffs as well. Another fighting tactic is to make a series of short, somewhat rapid upward pumps from 7:30 to 11:30 o'clock, only reeling when lowering the rod tip to...
7:30 without giving any slack to start the cycle all over again. Remember to rely upon your rod, and NOT the reel when fighting in a large, challenging fish. The reel is only meant as a line storage device, and not as a primary fish fighting instrument - your rod should be doing the MAJORITY of the work on the fish. If the fish decides to run, just let him run as soon as possible while trying to "retrieve" him. I would also recommend good quality tackle - a tough rod capable of withstanding...
a heavy load prior to failure (breakage), a high capacity, premium reel with good quality drag, gear, and body material capable of withstanding saltwater corrosion is a must for the type of fishing that you are doing. Good FORGED hooks will also not bend, unlike wire hooks - poor hooks will cost you fish. Plus, the line probably broke due to abrasion in the line. A powerful fish like a permit will dive for cover as it PANICS at the end of the line. Rocks, wrecks, and other debris cut lines!!!
Sting Rays usually don't move for long periods like what this dude experienced. They'll pull and stay put. Then do it again if provoked. Whatever this guy had was intent on leaving.
The line did break...using the drag properly and palming your spool is essential to tiring the fish so you can real him in...this farmer got spooled !
dude your drag was way to loose and when you tightend it you did it way to much you should of done little by little you shouldnt of lost that beutiful fish it was problay a permit they tend to run like that i got spooled and i got my permit but i broke of when i gaffed him
fucken bat ray!! HB piers got tons of them. caught a 100+ there before on 30 lb mono. I also had a daiwa sealine 30 with a calstar graph fighter 900m.
it was the dumb ass on the right of you in the white shirt you dont notice him changing the drag and you hold ur pole up not down pussy you to week to pick it up and also if it was a shark you didnt have a leader on or it could have been a bull red they put up a good fight
KEEP YOUR DAMN POLE UP NOOB! When you have your pole straight like that, it defeats the whole purpose of using one. (all the tension was going to your reel and line, and not your pole) Your pole was made to bend, so use it!
the way it peeling off the lines, its probably a ray of some kind.

let me give you a advice...never hold the top thing that has the line in it...you did that...that's why it snap off.trust meh even 80 pound line can do the same thing if you hold that part on the reel and yeah imma sure it's a sting ray..cause how it pull.i can tell from it and yeah i've experience it before.i caught a 500 pound monaray and a 200 pound sting ray and they both run exactly like that..well i've lived about 30 minute walk from the ocean or beach only..so i go fishing for those alot

yeah calm down people ,everyone turns into an expert on yt,it does help if you pump the rod back,and reel on the way down(you gain more line back)

He got spooled. Sometimes it happens. It was more than likely a big ray anyways. Man you people need to relax.

you retard you never tightn up the drag just let it run untill it gets tired.
Z06maro 3 years ago
Well if he didnt tighten uo the drag, that he was going to run out of line, look closely its not a baitcaster, its not like he has 300+yds of line to be giving to this big catch, sooner or later it would have dumped his entire spool into the water and woud have snaped it at the very end.

i kno its a spinning reel, and i noticed at .28 seconds he tightendup the drag. but it realy didnt matter i dont think there was nothing stoping that catch. i use power pro line 30 lbs test and it has the diameter of a 10 lbs test line, and use a 6500 series shimano baitrunner reel. and it carrys at 200+ yards well thts i think it carrys not sure on that one. but i did have a sturgeon empty my reel.

I use 100lb braided, 20lb diameter Power Pro combined with a 24 inch 70 lb leader for those annoying barracuddas, and let me tell you I have not lost one Barracudda, biggest one i caught was 47 pounds and it ran for miles. My setup is so strong with my rod, line, and leader that I mistakingly pulled up what appeared to be a goliath grouper, and instead it was a humoungous coral/rock from under the ocean floor, and the line was 100% OK. It was pretty cool.

you guys don't know how to fight a fish
you should have set the drag way higher and don't reel when the the fish is swimming away raise the rod up and reel in while you pump it down if you don't you will get line twist
dudrhkd7 3 years ago
Tighten up your drag, Hold your pole up when it's running. Palm your spool,Pump him in, reel on the downward pump.The reel is only a recepticle for the line not to bull the fish in!

I would put $20 that it was a bat ray. I fish for them with a 90J and a TLD 20/40 with 300 yards of 65# powerpro with a topshot of 120 yards of 40# pline.They sure do have some shoulders. You guys saying the drag was loose, how the hell would you know if the drags loose? were you there to set it for him? And you guys saying its a permit learn ... theres no permits in california. As for a white sea bass, you have to be lucky as hell to catch one on a pier, let alone one big enough to peel line.

Mobait...You can heeeeeear the drag spinning, also he's reeling and reeling without gathering line,while he is already spooled he keeps turning it,that's how you know,I've seen lots of farmer in my days and it not hard to spot one !!! When your a farmer like this guy you wouldn't know any better.
I think your right though he must of been hooked into a bat ray !
pierdog2u 3 years ago
ok, would you care to explain how one can tell the drag pressure a reel is producing by the sound it emits?
MoBait 3 years ago
Mo,what are you looking for a mathmatical equation!The drag is either broken or to loose,when he turns___thhhhe___ handle___ the___ spool___ spins____and yooooooou___ can hear the clicker clicking,did you get that!Also his bail is____not____gathering line.When the drag isn't tight the spool just spins when the handle is turned and almost all the time you can hear it!I think your to smart for your own well being,some times things are very simple!You don't need meters,gauges,graphs,JUST SAVEY !

Which reel was that? Let us know so that we don't get it. *LOL* j/k. For my fishing, I swear by my Jarvis Walker 6' rod & my Okuma Epixor 55a. They're not really expensive and ya bring in fish like nothing. The setup will run about 120 bucks.
apathy25tx 3 years ago
Wait, you were using a live mackerel, and this is in California? It is very possible that a seal may have taken it, as is often the case in Ca saltwaters. I also note that throughout the video, there is no movement (jerking) in the rod that would indicate head shakes and thrashing - activities common for a hooked fish. There is a strong possibility that what you had hooked may not even have been a fish at all. Marine Mammal Protection Act prohibits the touching and handling of seals.
junichirolaparka 3 years ago
First of all, why are you reeling in line then the fish is running and pulling in drag - with the use of a spinning reel, this can cause the line to snarl and twist BADLY. Heavy snarls compromise the structural integrity of the line, resulting in eventual breakage. Your next error is in the way in which you fight the fish - with a well set drag, hold your rod up high between 9 and 11 o'clock. This will eventually cause the fish to tire. When it stops, gently pump the rod and reel down.
junichirolaparka 3 years ago 3
Try to be as gentle and slow while pumping in a large fish in order to DRAG it in without startling it. Startling a large fish can result in it making another long and heavy run - something that you cannot afford to do if you have little line left on the reel. Do not attempt to be a macho showoff - this causes a lot of breakoffs as well. Another fighting tactic is to make a series of short, somewhat rapid upward pumps from 7:30 to 11:30 o'clock, only reeling when lowering the rod tip to...
junichirolaparka 3 years ago 2
7:30 without giving any slack to start the cycle all over again. Remember to rely upon your rod, and NOT the reel when fighting in a large, challenging fish. The reel is only meant as a line storage device, and not as a primary fish fighting instrument - your rod should be doing the MAJORITY of the work on the fish. If the fish decides to run, just let him run as soon as possible while trying to "retrieve" him. I would also recommend good quality tackle - a tough rod capable of withstanding...
junichirolaparka 3 years ago 3
a heavy load prior to failure (breakage), a high capacity, premium reel with good quality drag, gear, and body material capable of withstanding saltwater corrosion is a must for the type of fishing that you are doing. Good FORGED hooks will also not bend, unlike wire hooks - poor hooks will cost you fish. Plus, the line probably broke due to abrasion in the line. A powerful fish like a permit will dive for cover as it PANICS at the end of the line. Rocks, wrecks, and other debris cut lines!!!
junichirolaparka 3 years ago 3
judging by the rod tip and how it is not jerking i would say it was a big batray.

Sting Rays usually don't move for long periods like what this dude experienced. They'll pull and stay put. Then do it again if provoked. Whatever this guy had was intent on leaving.

First, tighten your drag, 30lb is a lot!
KEEP YOUR DAMN POLE UP NOOB! When you have your pole straight like that, it defeats the whole purpose of using one. (all the tension was going to your reel and line, and not your pole) Your pole was made to bend, so use it!
