True, but they also eat EVERYTHING they catch. The fact they kept all those sharks is likely because they are easy to catch. You show me an Asian throwing a fish back and I'll give you a buffalo nickel.

It's all technique, big guys are the worst. They seem to think they're simply going to overpower the fish because they can dead lift 350#s 20 times. Women do better with lower center of gravity and the ability to take direction without getting their feelings hurt. They know they don't know what their doing.

I've finished some 200s, caught a 185, but the worst arse whipping from a YF came from a 120. She didn't quit until her heart exploded. Pretty sure she found a bale of coke out there.

this is true. also having your fighting belt attached correctly is huge. when we first started offshore fishing my brother kept insisting that the belt needed to be loose and so me, being a dumbass, went along with it. fricking killed my back. i get that thing cinched up tight nowadays and it's 1000 times easier.

there's a lot though that goes into it. having a good captain keeping the boat in the right position; having your tackle set up right; technique alternating pumping the rod and reeling; also busting your arse fighting the fish. a lot of people think the fish is going to be on there forever, and just sit & rest when the fish isn't pulling drag. if you're not whipping the fish's arse it's whipping yours.

Have you not seen the shark finning videos? That's not all "asians," but some will certainly kill and discard anything not shark fin.

Marathon, not a sprint.
