Just because your Military arms get some exercise, dont inflict that pain on us mere mortals. My old and tired arms would do it for ~100m, then plop they go into the drink.
Nice catch by the way. Wish I had the inclination but getting a bit gray for that gungho stuff.
Yeah, i use the rod to pump the fish up and then electric function to wind down - even that got me fairly stuffed and i'm no couch potato! I'll give the manual wind a go next time for you Soupster...
Got a 320lb blue on stand up with out a harness (the boat didnt have one!) last year so have def done my time in the fishing hard labor department...!

Great fish. Try winding one up next time, you won't need to go to the gym for a month.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
