today i woke up at 5:00 AM to go fishing off hawaii kai about 28 miles off shore for some mahi mahi. we ended up catching 3 mahi mahi and 2 ono. one of the mahi mahis i fought and won... obviously. cranking in about 100 feet of line with drag and a dead weight fighting is very hard. then i realized torque was being applied everytime i turned the spool of the reel. the stupid handle was so short that it ended up being way easier to hand reel the fish in.
