“When Do You Put a Fish on the Reel”

Producer: The Orvis Company

“When you hook a fish, what do you do with the excess line you have? Do you reel it up every time? Do you just strip a fish in? It depends on the size and strength of the fish, and honestly the fish will tell you by its behavior. Here Tom Rosenbauer talks about when to fight a fish from the reel—and also what to do when you lose a fish.”
