At 1:00 there is a man on the left that seems so genuinely happy, it's incredible

Can’t believe this is actually a thing

[@michaelvonhaven105]

This is a competition?

[@1bizkit88]

Looks like. I just watched a knife chopping comp before this one 🤷‍♂️.

[@peeonu25]

Id like to say yes, but id hardly call it competitive. They all throw like land lubbers

[@Too20two]

Yes, look up Maritime THROWDOWN on any social media. This specific competition was a qualifier, with that being said, mtd was in search of the best. The finals will be on the 26th !! Very much a different level

Nah this should serious be a sport I’ve thrown many lines in my lifetime and it definitely is a work out especially if you miss and the line gets wet 😂😂😂😂 a 10lb throw becomes a 30lb line

[@Mahalo_83]

What kind of super absorbent lines do you use?

[@ericwoody7005]
