    Props for your continuing reminders on a healthy release. I love the idea of letting them catch their "breath" before the measure / photo session. I've always told people to hold your breath when you pull the fish out of the water, and get it back in the water before you take another breath. It puts things in perspective and makes people aware of just how long they keep them out.
    Some really awesome footage!

    I love your video, but I have to ask. Your gear seems kinda light for the size fish your where after. I used to deep water fish in Southern California back in 84. I used and still have my Newell P454-F, on a 5.5 foot long Kunnan stick. Caught some good big fish on that rig. Don't know why I still have it though. Stay safe and keep you rline tight and your hooks sharp.
