One for three...
 

In baseball, the batter who can hit for a .333 batting average earns millions of dollars. In fishing, it ruins the mind with woulda, coulda and shoulda's...I'm incredibly grateful for the incidental "by-catch" :proud: but this could've been a day of epic proportions...

Warning, this video has been rated R for strong language and violence...Jim

Lmao! "F**************CK!!!!!!" I felt your pain on those first two but hell of a victory on that third pig. The second one must've been a dandy too if it was dragging you around like that!

The best thing about this video was the textbook landing of the fish. Head left in water clean gaff shit owed by ready at your reach game clip. All noob should watch this. Great fish great technique. I am not worthy!

wow thats crazy. you must have caught an Alaskan halibut cause i never seen one that big.

Best fishing video I've seen.... ever! I think everyone here felt your pain on the first two misses.
