Thanks guys. This is in Sagami Bay, not too far from Tokyo.
I've not lost a rod yet... but on the troll may end up leashing them. Not sure I trust the rod holders. Have yet to capsize, but never say never. |

Japan is truly loaded with fish. Envious! I don't think leashing your rods is a big deal. You'll be really glad you did when it saves you that $1000 set-up.

This is a very, very rare chance for this area. Maybe once in a lifetime, but we'll see. Mahi are plentiful, but the tuna are usually too far out, and only here for a couple months. Did pick some leashes up though just in case.... |

Normally though I don't like bothering with the leashes. I dont surf launch so much lower risk of capsizing.

Dude, pretty impressive gaff work with the tuna! Also noticed you didn't crack a smile until the tuna was in your lap. I think I would have been ear-to-ear after that wahoo.

That's awesome to see catches off Japan. I can't believe there weren't 100 vessels around you. Thanks for sharing!
