Tip of the month
Bowing To Large Gamefish. With incredible speed, power and hootspah, several species of large saltwater royalty impress the fortunate with aerial displays...erupting from the water and dancing across the horizon as if they are showing off.
These magnificent Billfish, Tuna, Dorado, Mako, and other exotic species are built for speed while chasing prey. Hoping to land one of these brutes , anglers are reminded , especially when using long rods and lighter tackle to "Bow To The King".
Meaning the lowering of the rod tip that is imperative when the extra stress put on the hook and line as a large fish explodes from the ocean. Failing to Bow to the king can lead to broken lines pulled hooks and the loss of a fish of a lifetime.
