When we go trophy fishing, we are after the big fish but you can often go home empty handed. You know how it is you got a monster hooked and you are reeling him in. Your arms are burning from the 20-minute strain of fighting this big fish. All of a sudden, the line goes slack and he is gone. How did it happen? If the big one keeps getting away you might be doing a few mistakes we will be covering in this article.
Trophy fishing is different from other forms of fishing. When the big fish bites, the first thing to do is to have everyone else pull in all of the extra lines that are out. It will make it a lot easier to move around a little bit without worrying about getting tangled in other lines.
If the fish seems too strong at first, let out the line until he is tired of running or he stops pulling hard. If you are in a boat, you might want to float towards the fish and maintain the line distance you already have. A trolling motor on a trophy fishing boat should be used but if he really takes off don’t hesitate to fire up the big engine.
When you start to pull him in never let your line go slack. If you do, the fish could gingerly spit out your lure or lead you into a tangle of mess on the lake or river floor. Reel him in steady as you can when you start bringing him in. Your pole should stay bent over the whole time.
Once he is about 10 to 20 feet from the boat stop reeling him in. If it is a big fish over a pound or so, you will break the line trying to pull him into the boat. Use a net to take him out of the water so you guarantee he does not get away.
Last but not least, when you take him out of the net make sure you are away from the side. Especially when you are unhooking him. I do not know how many times I have seen a fish slip right through someone’s fingers and plop back in the water.
These are just a few trophy fishing tips and techniques to use when you finally hook that big fish. Remember trophy fish have gotten to be big by being smart and know how to fool your fishing efforts if you let them.
