A studly battle. Us California wimps use a southern california rail rod with a long foregrip from rods builders like (seeker, calstar, united composites to name a few) and allows us to use the gunnel rail for leverage to save us from blowing out our forearms. Different styles and methods for different regions I suppose. Still, You NZ guys are spoiled with an awesome in-shore and off-shore big bluefin fishery. Thx for the entertainment.
Awesome video. I am relatively new to the country. I heard Greymouth is awesome for Tuna, in august/september I heard. How deep do you need to go? is hokitika (like 40 miles offshore ? ) a good spot? crossing the bar is another challenge.
Nice cool calm and collected Mark , cool work
