There is a foregrip showing in front of his hand. He prefers to hold the reel.

Stan, I like the look of it. While I'm sure the battle would wear on him, light line and a good rod make this fishing a blast. I had a 6' sturgeon that I hooked took almost a half hour to bring in, but it was the largest fish I've caught and one I'll always remember. I would think he will remember for many years as well.

That rod's working as hard as any I've seen. Great shot Stan.

Bill,
We thought it was a big King Salmon to start with. When it kept taking line for more than 15 minutes we thought maybe a shark but as the leader didn't sever we thought it may have been a Halibut working in a school of suspended bait fish. When we finally could see the catch we saw a shark coming in tail first. The hooks and leader were trailing from his mouth but the fishing line and sinker had wrapped around his tail so tightly we had to cut the wraps off.
