Halibut Peeling line, Smoking Reel

[duckhunta21]

the reels strong enough, looks like a penn 12/0,might be a 9/0 same thing we use for land based shark fishing, it has more than enough drag for a halibut, but if you lock all the way down with out a harness,well have fun going swimming lol

[curtgowdysharkhunter]

ive had spinning reels get close to smoking but putting some fresh water on it fixes the whole problem

[curtgowdysharkhunter]

probably a salmon shark

[mikecorbeil]

So, how does the story end? Did the guy lose the fish, or get it?

The problem may've been the drag setting was too low , or maybe it's that the reel is not strong enough for the fish the guy had. As soon as the line was being pulled out fast, I would've tightened the drag as much as possible ; letting the fish be able to take out line, but slowly. A good and suitably strong reel would permit this.

[jemano14]

what was on the line

[eliwoohoo]

Not a halibut. You probably had a fish on the hook that was eaten by a shark or seal.

[etyra22]

seabass probably

[imagewise]

FAKE

[Carpmad01]

did you land/see it? what was it????????????

[creeperhb]

somebody stop him he is smokeing

[Corsten79]

wheres the water for cooling the reel?

[cam8o8]

one 250 marlin from hawaii would sit that pole down and scream that reel like its a toy

[BlueStateChronicle]

That wasn't a halibut. Probably a killer whale or a salmon shark.

[funnymen6]

@BlueStateChronicle i agree whit you,thats not a halibut.i think the run is to fast for a halibut.

[gadxyz]

What you don't know is the reel exploded a minute later

[240SSONLY]

@gadxyz i was just thinkin that... lubrication before insertation...

"you got to lick it before you stick it"

hahahah, seriously tho, ive never seen a reel smoke like that... fishermen talk about it like its a thing to say... but wow... this is just ridiculous

[redstagwith243]

@gadxyz thats why they stopped filming lol

[ronaldreika]

[GevshenianBros]

KRYPTO DID YOU GUYS GET THE FATTY ON DECK ???? 250lbs ?

[lrulez415]

its really rare that a halibut does this, theyre usully dead weight. last year we caught a 205 pounder, and when we hooked it, we thought it was a seal or a salmon shark because our bait was a salmon head. i bet this one was a huge fish. nice video.

[WWWJUGGINGFORCATFISH]

Yep,Best sound on earth!

[TheYellowtailman]

Dude u got to bean the drag

[Ukrainepotatoe]

we are gonna need a bigger boat

[1siemprepensando]

damn, now thats what i call a fish. gimme my kayak, and we'll call it a nantucket slay ride!

[judaheron]

salmon shark.

[surinate]

I agree I've caught a few salmon sharks and man do they ever run. They should have pulled anchor and started chasing it That's what we did to get mine.

[APCDTBSYLDOMN8]

oh my god. thats fucken awsome!

[o56kid]

That is one T/O'ed Halibut!!

[moosehunter1589]

I have had that happen before, not smoking but the halibut is very powerfull!

[totalycarcrazy]

lol sounds like he hooked the prop on a big boat

lol

[Oceanus2690]

best sound on earth!

[lardtaziumwadmaster]

lol, i wouldn't be surprised if the hook caught onto a submarine or something. thats a damn big fish!

[largemouthbassrigs]

There wasnt a damn thing he could do at that poin..... that halibut decided he was leaving and he left...

[efbeduff]

LOL. Thats great.

[Jonnybarbs]

it was probably a salmon shark

[itsmyfishingshow]

rairwr

nice vid

[SSSDiaz7]

Since you own a baitcaster and a fairly decent and popular brand and model can I ask you a question. I bought a Penn Long beach 68 in like new condition. Is attaching it to a tuna rod a good thing, would I be able to cast with a 100-130lb rated tuna rod if so I need thicker line that 100lb power pro (20lb diameter) to be able to fit it properly on the dual set of rollers that this specific rod has without the thin line possibly falling off the rollers, correct? or incorrect. Thanks bro.

[littlegoobie]

get a rod with good rollers. properly designed rollers won't let the line to get between the frame and roller so it has no choice but to either be loose or on the roller.

[blahxdan]

There is definitely something wrong with the drags on the reel.

[Nugburner420]

its from the 1800s there was no drag back then:)

[vouyroy]

damn bat ray ... its not any thing good i think but i could be wrong .... cant be a marlin or tuna . its not jumping so... its not a halibut i really dont think so....

[burbotman14]

Either your drag is broken or you hooked a salmon shark.

[fluebinder]

halibut are stronger then a salmon shark. it is just the old cheap reel he have

[tekhn]

Don't point the rod at the fish, hold it up.

[Tidoublemy]

A bit hard to do with a 300lb. fish

[marcostony1]

YES, they are both Penn Senator 6/0 reels. These are the best reels for deep sea fishing to pier fishing reels in the world.

Both have extended handles, which I've noticed only slow you down. It also makes the handling of the rod unsteady so I do not recommend them

[Tigerpuffer]

Reels do smoke, usually with fish that fight in a straight line, not jumping, such as Tuna and Mackerel. You need to pour water on it during the run or all the line on the reel can be damaged, as well as plastics in the

reel.

[stevenb53092]

Ditto.

[hai025]

Don`t think about what it was !!! The only think can be a submarine!!!

[M3anbone]

Dang, that's crazy...

[a6dmi]

I would like to know how this story has ended...

:)

Great

[McGruff5150]

With an empty reel and broken line no doubt, but it would have been nice to see it.

[daddyfrank2007]

congrats, you have just hooked a submarine.

[trek1500mn]

Literally smokin....Awesome!

[timmey89]

it looks like a "senator"..

what kind of fish can that be ? Is there a end of the video?

[freddy7700]

I would like to know how this story has ended.

Anyhow, great clip! Thanks a lot!

By the way, was that a PENN reel???

[VancouverCanucksRock]

[tauras88d]

[hotrodshane]

[itshimkevinkim]

[gammadaddy]
