Hi all,
I'm relatively new to saltwater fly fishing (this year to be exact) and I have one question...for now anyway. How do you play a bigger fish? I was into some nice stripers on green and white deceivers over the weekend. The sand eels showed up after the last moon, so the bass are having a good old time right at first light. Up until now, I have only caught small to medium trout in small streams, so playing and landing a fish wasn't that difficult. How does one play, lets say, a 10 lb striper? I'm fishing a 9wt St Croix with a matching St. Croix reel. I know you play the fish on the reel, but how?? Just adjust the drag and let the fish run with it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Ken
