I agree
Great video, but I think I will re-estimate the BSB I caught a few months ago. I estimated 40-50 lbs, but looking at yours.......maybe I'll bump it up a notch. It felt like 200 lbs bringing it up.

It took me a couple days to recover from the 2 I released last Tuesday, totally noodle armed. First one felt like a bus and was around 100ish, second fooled me as it was faster, took more line and did not feel like I was hooked to a bus, around 60 pounder. That was the first 2 baits dropped to the bottom then the sea lions were all that wanted every bait after.

Ya guys I don't know that it was 100 obviously, but my leader was 4' and it was about a foot longer than that. Took about 15 minutes to land... which is really long for me. But def not as big as some others I've caught , and it still has spots. Maybe GoPro superview makes it look small haha the title was mostly trolling

That is awesome Chris. Congrats on the nice catch and especially the successful release. I love the backbone those Tiger Ugly Sticks have and at such a ridiculous low price. Thanks for sharing the video.

And that reminds me of a very important point, for anyone who might be wondering. The clean release of the big black begins DURING THE FIGHT. 2 key factors made this fish so easy to release. She swam back down after about 2 or 3 minutes. 1. The second you get it off the bottom, you horse it up as hard and and fast as you can. They sit on the bottom forever and just run and run and are unstoppable. But as soon as you got on top of them and see them on the meter, you have to go full gas. The greener they are when you get them up, the faster they swim down. Don't exhaust her with an hour long fight. You know its a black after about 2 minutes. Either go full drag, or thumb it and try to break it off. (just dont burn your thumbs, or drags for that matter) 2. Once its up to like 30-40' (you are watching your sonar as you fight fish, right?) back off the pressure big time. They will float up from there. Its important to let them come up slow for the last 30 feet, as the gas inside their bodies is massively expanding. If you horse them all the way to the surface they will barf their guts inside out. If you can get them up to 60', usually the fight is over. Let them just chill and burp their way up from there, kinda like Charlie and the fizzy lifting drinks! Same goes for whites, if you ever find yourself releasing those... |

Thanks for the awesome tips Chris on how to bring one up, so as to make it easy to do a successful release. That is super advise.
