That rod and reel looks like a lite setup, wonder how he managed to set the hook with that? Must have been a battle to land that fish.

Wow, caught from a boat? Only a matter of time before McReynolds record is broken.

looks like a penn reel, the rod looks like a 7 1/2' or 8, maybe that rod is just a prop? wtg anyway, great catch!

Great fight on light tackle like that, even it it was a boat. Great catch, fish of a lifetime.
