[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 97614, member: 1776"] Thanks for the help - I enjoy the jumps as well - even had one fish jump 7 times!!! It took me in the weeds, then out in the pond, took drag like a redfish. It was such a great fight on light tackle that I packed up and went home after landing him. I knew the day wouldn't get any better. I guess in the boat, I'm usually sitting down and fighting it sideways mostly. So it's not quite down or up.. So if tourney fishing, keep rod tip down. If I see him rising - pull him back in the water and get him to the boat asap. If I'm showing off for the babes, pull him up and let him tailwalk across the water till he's exhausted, but risk losing him. I'll never remember this - :roll: But I'll have fun trying!!! [/QUOTE]
