Thanks! I just do and SD Jam knot with 5 wraps. No crimps I've heard crimps are fine, but to me it's just one more thing that could knock the jig off course at high speed.
@@SDKook I won a boat cleaning kit gave it to my Capt, and yes thats the plan, we enjoyed the tournament it was rough but anything can happen! We will see you next year for sure!
A tip I was told was to keep the boat in gear when trolling mad Macs. They are heavy lures and when the boat goes from speeding to a dead stop it creates slack in the line for a brief moment and the fish can throw the hook. Didn’t seem to affect you guys tho but nice catch 👍
Yeah I've heard the same, I had the boat in gear for the whole fight. Hard to tell from the video! Definitely a good call on cutting the gas too quick though. A slow deceleration seems ideal.
Fishing with spreader bars with hooks in is Not GameFishing..using Teasers with a seperate rod and lure is..This is Winching..Meat Fishing Not GameFishing..
Have you ever fought a 100lb tuna? The fish wins more often than not regardless of the heavy gear. These fish make you work for it and you are beat up the next day. A true battle...If that isn't game fishing I don't know what is
The intro edits are fire good catches! Tight lines amigo
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Great job....
Thanks!
How do you tie your macs? SD Jam, or crimp? Do you like knots, rather than crimp? Thanks. Great video!

Love the video, Kook!! what kind of motion video drone are you using? what is that stick are you using to control the view?
It's a 360 cam on a selfie stick. Thanks for watching!
Fishing with the KOOK always gives me a big SMILE. Spreader bar wasn't popular with the fish today ? Kind of looks like a kite.
It wasn't but we only had it out for an hour. Gotta put in more time because they're very popular around here!
Met you at the award ceremony for the shootout and definitely a good prize to win! Keep it up brotha!
Nice! Thanks for stopping bye, hope you won something cool too! Good chatting with you. You planning on going again next year?

Sup brotha, question for you, how fast are you trolling your madmacs?
13 knots. Easier into the swell, but 12 to 15 is the sweet spot.
@@SDKook Thank you Sir, we are gonna try that!
