Sooo.. one of the drag items I have wondered about is.. As the speed of the line going out increases does the heat on the drag/resistance discs increase or decrease drag?
@waterman241 10 күн бұрын
Actually that is a really good question. To the best of my knowledge and please is anyone has proof to prove me different I’d be happy to listen but from my understanding I always thought as the drag played heat up the drag will increase. This is also why you want to try and heat up your drag and reels before pulling drag on a drag scale. So the answer I have is it increases however I don’t think it matters as much as other elements at play like spool diameter and amount of line in the water of you get to a heat up stage both of those elements would be playing a bigger role at that point.

@krishnakode3894 2 ай бұрын
This might be a dumb statement and please correct me if it is but I think dragging helps because the fish is fighting back against the boat and the continued momentum is to tire it out not to hurt it or get the hook in it more

How's it!! Hope you've been enjoying fishing lately. Watching a video from off the kona coast, I noticed how beautiful the weather was, looking in towards the island and how crisp and clear the atmosphere was!!!! Often typical for kona, especially in the mornings. The detail you can make out looking all the way up to.the 14,000 ft peaks of maunaloa and maunakea is just incredible!!!! Just wanted to mention that over the decades I lived in kona and was fishing, this included the 1982/83 eruptions of maunaloa and shortly after, kilauea and then the new Pu'u O'o vent and cinder cone and spectacular 1000 ft plus high lava fountains, which turned into a 20 year long plus erruption phase of pretty much continuous lava flowing!!!! With the normal trade winds weather, all of the volcanic haze ends up in kona including out off the ocean, and so for pretty much 20+ years we had "vog" or haze constantly! The views that are normally stunning as you can see so far off in the distance with clear weather, common to kona, we're thi k with vog, so bad, that you couldn't even see the island from sea only 5 miles or much less offshore!!! I know what it's normally like and how amazing the clarity is, but for all those years, kona was just inundated with vog!!!! Your stoked that it's not like that anymore, but whenever the volcano errupts, the vog ends up in kona w/in a day or two!!! But, the eruptions over the last 20 years have not been long lived so you enjoy beautiful weather most all the time. Those 20 years from 83, I was always really stoked to get far away from kona in the strong trade winds and breathe fresh air and see so far again!!!! Just brought me back to so many years throughout my life fishing off the big island seeing so much changes with the eruptions and of the landscape especially in Puna!!! Sounds like the magma is moving a lot under ground over the last days, indicating a potential eruption event coming again soon!! The island is alive!!!! Enjoy it!!! Thx again and tight lines and good fishing !!! Aloha D.L.

Rich guy problems
@waterman241 3 ай бұрын
Well good news, with a mindset like that those are problems you’ll probably Never have. You’re like the guy who says “must be nice” to someone successful without any idea of all the other things going on and the hard work and sacrifices made by the individual . Understand that For a lot of us it’s a job and how we make a living. The captains and crews in this industry are Def not “rich”. Most of us barely can get by but do it for a passion and a love of the ocean and our craft. Yes to be a boat owner at a higher level you need alot of money but there are plenty plenty fisherman in the islands too who are not “rich” and who do this for food and for sport both. Just be a bit more learned in it all before being the “must be nice” guy unless that’s just who you are and the mindset you choose to adopt and make a pattern of. Either way thanks for watching and commenting !

I agree with you 💯 on the doing your own thing. Off NJ if people see 1 picture of a tuna they think it's on fire and every noodle ends up in the same area doing nothing. I always try to keep as far from people as possible and my results always speak for themselves. In late July we start to get a decent mahi bite usually and the amount of idiots becomes too much. And they always show up around 8am and miss the good bite. Then you got 3 boats fighting each other for a spot on 1 lobster pot bouy that there's no fish on 😂. Where as I'm there an hour before 1st light and am usually limited out and onto something else 😂😆😂. That was a beautiful fish. Be glad you don't have to run 90 miles to the Continental shelf for a shot at a blue like we do. We get white Marlin occasionally about 30 miles offshore but it's rare.
@waterman241 4 ай бұрын
Yup. I feel ya on that. It’s much Better to find your own bite then chase it. A lot more fulfilling to know you hunted and succeeded on the bite by using the elements then just running to where everyone is turning on a machine and connecting the dots around people. It’s getting kinda crazy here with that crap but it’s a very big ocean and fish have tails so plenty of big fish spots. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Happy fishing to you buddy
