Tips to Help You Land Fish Fasters

Fighting fish is far more complicated than just pulling on the rod and turning the handle on the reel. As saltwater anglers, we are challenged by incredibly powerful fish that test every aspect of our strength, endurance, and gear. The best fishermen study and perfect fish-fighting techniques not because it helps them land fish more easily—though it does—but rather ­because it’s crucial for landing trophies.

Why? Because the faster you can land it, the better the chances a “fish of a lifetime” will stay on the line. Plus, being swift in your fight gives you more energy to fish longer. And that next fish could be even bigger, so you don’t want to be tapped out.
