Got out on the water today with some new clear intermediate and a spool of seguar fluoro. Fishing a size 10 wolly worm and got a really hard strike. What followed probably resembled a deer running on an ice skating rink. I landed the fish after some extreme uncoordination and it turned out to be a 9-10" gill that fought like a bull. I got the fish on the reel after reeling up what was on the apron then it came off the reel so I started stripping and the fish came towards me faster than I could strip. Then it kinda took me for a ride it was ridiculous. One thing that I felt was that it is hard to get leverage on the fish sitting lower. Can any one give any tips on fighting a fish in a more graceful efficient manner from a tube?
