    I’ve legitimately watched this on both your channel and MTF a dozen times, no exaggeration. Question John, how much PE-10 did your 16000 spool hold, and how much line was out when that brute crushed that Kaxu 240? What do you think it got your capacity down to?? So bloody sick mate!!

    • @ebbtidetackle
      @ebbtidetackle  6 років тому

      Hey man glad you love it, this is the first time that pretty much the whole fight has been put out there with obviously some cheeky banter to the MT guys ;) I was down a bit of line to begin with as had been having trouble with the long toms snipping our line... I had lost 3 quality fish to line failure because of it so I stripped a bit off and was really lacking confidence in it (which is why I purposely didn't strike as I was certain it might pop). I rec that spool had about 180m tops of line on it, and I probably had 40m out on hook up, I literally got down to 5 - 10 meters of line on the reel, it was tense and I was sure I was smoked, but I got lucky

    • @DanEvan
      @DanEvan 6 років тому +1

      EbbTideTackle wow John, talk about fully puckered. I remember you said you were going back to an old standby line this past year. And yeah man I watched Saltwater Prodigy’s video where he mentioned just how bad the long toms are taking chunks out of your line! Haha I don’t think I could imagine a more annoying scenario than that, like it’s not even funny when you think about what it took (preparations/travel/money) to get you to that moment just to pop off the fish of a lifetime because a longtom turned your PE-10 into PE-4!! What a memory and how good getting that footage because that fight could never expressed through words to those who weren’t there

    • @ebbtidetackle
      @ebbtidetackle  6 років тому

      Those long toms are truly evil! Never seen them as bad as over there and the line I was using had multi colours and they seemed to be super attracted to it - worst fish!

  • @matt1653
