OK, I see. I thought you had 2 separate lines. Reel to boat and boat to harness. But yes, you go in and you are in the middle of the tension between the fish and boat. So in your setup, you go in, the tension is between the boat the reel and the fish and you are just floating attached to the reel and you unhook yourself, get back in the boat and then worry about retrieving the rod. I'm gonna look into that setup. How is the cable attached to the boat? What kind of hook or attachment secures it to the boat and where? Is there something on or under your rod holders?

Back to the tuna. How much is the one that the two of you are holding? 100 lbs? Very nice fish!

Maybe 150. Its not a big one. Tie the rod off the cleat to a carabiner to the reel.
