    You guys are making this look difficult. Fold the seat up and back the drag off a tad or one day you'll end up in the drink.

    Wow....what can I say. I'm glad you got the fish into the boat without losing the outfit or breaking the rod. I thought someone was going for a swim a couple of times. Still a great piece of video. Thanks for putting it up

    Thanks guys... That area is reefy and shallow. We got reefed quite a bit sometimes within 9 secs when we started out. With kings it is either ease the drag and coerse them out or go for broke and drive them out. It was abit chaotic and yeah we could of dial it to only 10-12 kgs, which later we did.
    Was using 80 lb braid to 100 lb shock leader and 100lb FC leader.
