Tenkara Rod vs. Big Fish

[RSetina]

This sould end the doubt. A 7 pound brown. You say no way? Watch this. I'm impressed.

But that's 7 New Zealand pounds. If you take into account the relative gravity difference in the northern hemisphere, factor in exchange rates and time zone differences, it's really just 1.7652 pounds +/-....

Seriously, nice fish!

Very cool fish. Curtis is using that formula wrong. You get that figure and add it to the NZ poundage.

That was pretty awesome, never seen that big of a fish landed with Tankera!

There is a hint as to where that spot is! I could hear a big rig in the video, so it must be next to a road!

Thanks for posting that....

The commentary, and fisherman's initial reactions was What a nice fish!

I didn't think it would be possible to land such a big fish but now I know. I figured a 20 to 22 inch would be about it, but 7 pounds? I'll have to break out my Yamame and go for a few leopards at the beach. I says in the notes at the bottom of the video he was using 7X. That's a bit hard to believe. But still a nice catch.

Very cool video. Thanks for posting. I agree, those guys were funny to listen to.

Hey Rick,

I haven't had a chance to use the Tenkara I bought at the Fly Fishing Show.....I can't wait. I'll keep you posted.

I may be heading up to the WF this Saturday with a guy on my route that bought one.

Haha too bad the guy looks like an absolute dork bringing it in.

Yeah, that's not 7X he's using. In the beginning of the video, it says he was using 4X. And even though he did look like a dork , he landed it relatively quickly. I'm also glade to see he didn't drag it up on the bank.
