dumb question.......(vert trolling/spider riging)
ok Im not to proud to ask a goofy question....I do some vert trolling/spider riging, but its never in shallow water....use 12ft rods....now if im vert trolling/spider rigging in shallow water, whats the best way to land the fish once you hook it??? what I mean is, say I got 3ft of line down from the tip of the rod to the jig, if I lift the fish up like I normally do and try and swing em in the boat, that suckers roughly 9ft in the air, not to mention maybe snapping off the rod tip......so how the heck do you land em?? thanks for any info, have a great one all, God bless.
