Yup, often a bit hilarious how many folk want to reel the fish right up to the eyelet and a few want to reel the fish right through them ;D

I'm trying to picture your landing method. If you grab the line with one hand and your rod is in the other then either you live near a nuclear power plant and have grown a third hand or you have someone help you remove or land the fish?.......or you set your rod down.. And that my friend is a distinct no-no in MT's world of piscatorial pursuits. But hey, we all have our own style and that is what makes fishing fun.
