I was curious as to whether anyone ever reels in the fish after it tires.
Usually, I let the fish tire based on the holding power of the shot, and then pull in the line with my hands.
What I don't like about this usual method is that by the time I subdue the fish, I'm surrounded by a lot of line floating around, sometimes looped and tangled.
I've seen a couple of youtube videos where some spearo's reel in big mackerel with the reel, and then subdue the fish.
I'd like to know what y'all think about reeling fish in, as opposed to 'handlining' it.
