Next time loosen your draggier let the fish tired him self out by giving it some line and then reel it and give it line again then reel again do it till it tired itself out it will flip on its belly when it gives up

Thanks for the tip! I think I had my drag too tight.

Did your line snap?? or did he throw the hook?? any how that still sucks

[namtkd1]

My line unfortunately snapped right when the northern did a swish at boatside. I had no leader either. :(

The fish is cool but the big smile on your face, that is why you are out there. Pretty cool.

thats what sucks, when your fishing for smaller fish like bass and you hook a monster

I was using 10 lb. Trilene. This northern was caught while I was fishing for smallmouth. Another lure lost... :)
