Great video, Chris. I couldn't believe at the 3:45 minute mark, how when you grabbed the broken rod holder, the rod doesn't just slide out of the broken rod holder and into the deep with no leash. I once had a 30+ lb Yellowtail catch me of guard and making a hard fast change of direction run that went straight to the left and pulled the rod right out of my left hand. As I watched the Shimano Terez rod and Avet MXL MC reel set up disappear into the water, I realized the leash was still attached. Grabbed the leash pulled the rod back in and readjusted the drag and ended up landing it. It's amazing how quick one can loose hundreds of dollars and a nice fish. Thanks for sharing.
