New video up on my channel. Almost got flipped by a black on good squid bite several years back. I had the fish at leader and made a couple critical mistakes that almost caused me to flip. Luckily the rod holder broke and I was able to save the pole. Ended up getting the fish back to leader and releasing it safely.
If I didn't have both of my legs over the side of the boat balancing me in the water, I think I would've gone in the drink.
Oh man!
Nice footage Chris!
Did it just break at the joint? No damage to the mount or gunwale?
Been there and done that. I had a big soupfin (Galeorhinus Galeus) that I pulled up years ago. Went to release and noticed I had the drag still buttoned down. Almost flipped the Revo 13 with all gear, but was able to transfer my weight and get it into freespool just before tipping. Only takes once to learn that one!
