I came back to watch this a year later hoping they would edit out the ball intrusion by his rod butt but…. Still there. I gotta say it hurts watching just as much today, but kudos to that angler for sacrificing his sack all in the name of trying to win the jackpot!
Awesome job by the crew with those tangles. What learned on long range trips was no angles no tangles. Must always keep in touch with your bait. Reel up if the bait isn't acting right.
Outstanding job and team effort. Looks like a fathom 40nld2, okuma pch xxh, 80lb power pro. Very impressed with the crew, the angler’s composure, and how the rod and angler’s balls took the abuse. Lots of tangles with the light sinkers. Reeling in to get tight every once and a while should help mitigate some of the excess scoping. @alan tani Do you have any openings next year? I’m from the SF Bay area and would love to fish on your charters.
Watta stud!!! 💯 good job bro

@@junz7452 i picked up a 40 a while ago for an upcoming trip. Nice to see it in action.

This was the Spirit of Adventure on an Alan Tani 3 Day charter. It’s a stock Fathom 40NLD2 with a custom Alan Tani handle.
