@@maxdocken Surely if you cannot stop the fish that goes to the rocks the only way is to open the spool or lighten the drag, like you did. But this only makes it much harder for fish to cut the line. The fish can still tangle your line around rocks if the bottom is very rough. Not to mention that this would result in a loss of other species like groupers. So yeah if you get big dentex on spinning gear , this approach is best. Still it is far from guaranteed catch... Thats why I love sonio, allows you to spin and still you are able to get out such fish the way it should be done. Tight lines !

great video Max and such a strong fight, usually I also open the drag when I fill the fish pass between rocks etc and most of the times the fish is mine in the end!!!
Thanks my friend! Yes, there are not many choices. First I tried to pull it but then I understood it will end in a cut with a fish this size. Greeting and tight lines in 🇳🇱

@@maxdocken original hooks tend to bend even on smaller fish.....if they don't rust before first cast🤦🏼♂️ , shame for such great (and expensive) lures Currently im using BKK saltwater series, Raptor, Viper or Fangs

Hallo Linus, ja natürlich. Neben den Plätzen haben Dentex im Mittelmeer natürlich ihre bevorzugten Jagdzeiten. Hier ist das gerne Tagsüber. Viele Grüße Max
Grandios...welch ein Glück dass er aus den Felsen zu Dir zurück fand. Hätte nie gedacht,😮 dass sie bis in das Flachwasser ziehen. Vermutlich sehr selten? Petri Heil weiterhin!!😊
Hallo Thomas, Dentex gehören halt auch zu den Brassen und die sind manchmal unglaublich flach unterwegs. Ich hatte wirklich Glück, dass der Haken nach dem Aufbiegen nochmal gegriffen hat. 😅 Gruß Max
What a fish. And so satisfying to watch the whole fight. 💪🎣 We are on vacation in Greece (Chalkidiki) in about 3 weeks and I already bought and organized some fishing equipment. ;) Last time there I just caught tiny fish and a little octopus on fish pieces and bread, which was already exciting. Now we have a small kitchen in our hotel rooms and I would like to "upgrade" to some pan size fish. 😆 If it's OK, I would like to ask you for some advice regarding tackle and techniques. :) 1. What fishing line do you recommend? And do you use some meters of Fluo as leader because of rocks and fish teeth? 2. Is it recommended to use small wobblers or even pilkers as bait? I guess, the bait guidance is more quick and "twitchy"? 3. Do you have experience with static/ground fishing with shrimps, crabs, fish scraps? I own a pretty long travel rod and would like to give that type of fishing a try. Thanks in advance. I am really thankful for any help you could give. 🙏 Tight lines and greetings to Greece! 👋
Wow, thanks for your comment. The region you are travelling is super beautiful and nice. First of all I don't have any experience with bait fishing so. I can't tell you any advice. Regarding lure fishing you want to go spinning with hardbait and silicones or you want to go shore jigging? Greetings Max
@@maxdocken Guess I would like to fish with hardbaits. Slim wobblers and the heavier, sinking fullmetal baits. What is best for shore fishing? Sinking bait with more weight (and of course longer casting distance) and starting deep? Or floating wobblers and leading it with close to the surface? What length, weight and hook types do you recommend?
@@el_pschulzo it depends all on the species you target. I suggest you to fish softbaits and jigs for Groupers, Dentex, Amberjack, Barracuda, Tunnies. Softbaits like Fiiish Black Minnow mainly for the first two species, jigs mainly for the others. Fishing from the bottom up to the upper 1/3 gives you orientation. Hardbait fishing in the upper water column is also good, for Tunnies and Mahi Mahi. Working sinking hardbaits needs more practice and spot knowledge so I would recommend it for a beginner. It depending on the gear you are planning to use it's recommended to choose the braid and leader, hooks and lures. For classic Shore Jigging you need a rod like Sonio 100M or Accura 100H (or similar) with a 6000 - 8000 class reel and PE 2,5 - 3. Leaders are 40 - 50 lbs. Regarding hardbait fishing it's recommended to fish a spinning rod ~ 9 ft with a cw of 50-60g. 4000 size reel with PE 1,5 and lures like Duo Tide Minnow 175, casting jigs like Duo Drag Metal Cast and small jigs 30 - 40g like Owner Nagewaza Jigs. Fiiish BM Nr. 3. With this setup you can hunt smaller AJ, Barracuda, Dentex, Tunnies and Mahi Mahi. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/OfhwOHegV8I/v-deo.htmlsi=JxlXI9K1wJUY9sgE I fish the PA90 (50g) rod with 4000 reel and PE1,5.
Hello Max, if you had to choose between Defi Muthos 93m and 100m, which would be your choice? Which one is better suited to fishing for big amberjacks? Thanks you😊😊😊
