Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could kzread.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.

“This might be a big ol doormat!” Love it!!! Great catch bro. You are a hell of a fisherman and very modest about it. Your parents did a great job with you. Love your channel. To many more tight-lines my friend.

That donut definitely was good luck 👍

Beautiful job Adam! I’m so happy for you. Great job

So happy for you! That has to be so rewarding!!

That was very special. Great job, Adam! 👍

Fantastic Adam! You really put the work in to catch that fish. You received your well deserved reward for your efforts. 😊

Great Catch! Hard work and patience paid off!

Excellent catch Adam! Way to grind.

It definitely feels even better after having to work for it. A well deserved monster halibut!

Nice catch. Im in Alaska and have been waiting all winter to get out and do some Halibut kayak fishing! So much fun!

Great catch and well done!

CONGRATULATIONS ADAM! Well deserved!

Way to keep pushing! I just went out here in Eastern nc this past weekend in my Hobie and took an absolute beating by the weather and wind. Ended up fishn for 6 hours and finally hooked up to a respectable sheep head and pulled the hook right at the net. The current was just to strong and the fish was using it properly. But way to stay in the game man! Great content.

That size of fish is what we target offshore in Wa . The best eating and sustainable to not take the big females that are the breeders. Great job persisting to the point of success!
