How to reel in fish

When the fish has bitten the hook, they will try to escape by any means, each type will have a different level of response. Those in shallow water will produce more than those in deep water, those in deep water will try to swim to the bottom.

The big fish are really a tough test for most anglers including the experienced ones, they have a tremendous strength. The first sign that you’ve got a big hook is the sound the reel makes when it’s spinning in reverse, pulling your line while you’re holding on.
Here are the techniques you must keep in mind when it comes to big fishing:

Step 1: Hold the rod 45 degrees above the water, aim it straight at the fish and be ready to reel when the drag stops moving and buzzing.

Step 2: When the fish slows down and stops taking line off your reel, it’s time to go to work. With a large fish, a great technique to try is the pump and reel.

Step 3: Without reeling the fish in, lift the tip of the rod up like you’re trying to point it skyward. A stronger, or heavier fish will often put a major bend in your fishing rod, you don’t need to worry because this is okay

Step 4: Then reel as you lower the rod tip back down to about 45 degrees, keeping even pressure on the fish.

Step 5: Repeat these things

Some tips when you pull the fishing rod

• Whenever we see the fishing line running in any direction, we pull the rod in the opposite direction and the hook will stick in the fish’s mouth.
• Whenever you see a buoy suddenly sinking quickly, you should not hesitate, but must pull the rod quickly in the vertical direction.
• If you see the float being pulled for a short distance and then stop, if you pull the rod, it’s just good luck because the fish only took a little bit of the bait and then released it.
