Said he had about half his line left
Would get a little line back
But fish would keep takin off
He is freakin out cuz its biggest he has ever hooked
Deck hand comes over and takes the rod
Fish takes him on a ride around the boat
Deckhand looks at friend and says he should cut his line

Now

What would you do
Ill Bite-

1 )Button down the drag and get that fish UP. OR break it off & grab a heavier set up. Grab a beer too.

2) Fish from own boat or kayak and NOT have to deal with party boat peeps. Prolly drink a cold beer too.

3) Go straight to the galley and buy everyone on the boat a beer because you probably just lost the jackpot fish cuz your spinner wasn't made for the job .

4) Toss that spinner overboard, get yourself a beer or three.

5) Fish ON... Doesn't matter as long as you have a cold beer.
