Great video. Thanks. I noticed you continue to reel when the fish is taking drag and when you are not gaining on him. That creates real twist in your line. Suggest you don’t reel at those times. Also try chicken thigh chunks marinated in strawberry jello for bait. And if it is legal where you are put a couple drops of liquid anise (the food flavoring near the vanilla in the grocery store) on your bait. It gives off a sheen in the water and really draws them to your bait.

X2- I was thinking the same thing. When the fish is pulling drag, reeling does nothing until the fish stops fighting.

Definitely creates line twist and can bind up when you cast back out..always tighten the drag a bit tighter to where the fish barely pulls drag otherwise you'll regret it later..

Notice how this guy is smart enough to fish by the ladder just in case he accidentally falls in there. Some people make the mistake by not doing this, then fall in and have no way out and drown.

Lol, my Dad used to own an auto repair shop in Kettleman in the 80s-90s. It was across the street from a restaurant called Majors Brothers, but I think Majors Bros is now a Mexican restaurant called Chalios. I had fun playing in the hills back then. I had a huge boxer dog that followed me everywhere. He was 113lbs and 27in at his shoulder, a freak for a boxer, anyways one of his favorite things to do was to follow me out into the hills and chase and fight coyotes, while I shot at things with my bb gun, lol... In Kettleman, we used to go drop a little 2 man boat in that little river off the 41 near Stratford. When we fished the aqueduct, we went out by Huron by the old motocross track. Good memories!!! Those were the days!
