Thanks for the details! I always wanted to use a swivel to reduce line twist. I assume that's why you use one? My braid is all twisted up now.

Congrats on the fish!

So after talked to you and headed back over towards weather buoy I made a bunch of bait and dropped a dropper loop n flyline, 20yds out of the preserve I started marking, and boom dropper goes off! 2 hours late and half way back to the spot we chatted I surface an easy 150-200lb BSB! Safely revived as I cut my line a foot from his mouth and he slow decended back to the depths! First BSB, unfortunately phone was in truck due to waterproof case being broke( I’ve ruined 2 phones-$200 each in insurance so no pics

I was trying to radio you but was a lot of static!

I’m setting up my GoPro for next trip! I’ll give u a shout when the wifey will let out next( toddler time next weekend )!!!

Here’s mine from the 22nd.

Cheers on a big brother.

Congrats, really nice fish. Went out on the 26th but bait was hard to find after the first greenback With all the pesky dogs around I mostly trolled a Rapala greenback for nada. Saw some good Hali marks but the dog close by made me not want to loose the only live greenback I had.
