You guys are gonna love this...don't laugh too hard at me!

[Yak Fish]

Seconds prior to this video I jigged a nice rockfish that was pulling good drag...mid 20"s. However, because I wanted to capture it on video, it got off the line as I was trying to turn on the camera. That fish must have nicked the line because on the next drop I had another nice fish that popped the line when I was applying pressure....the result, a fat lip from a reel to the face! Try not to laugh too hard

Laugh I did. Fortunately I'm to technologically inept to film myself, so I'll just live vicariously through others. Great fail.

Just think, if you did not have the camera on, know one would know. Shows that all is what it is when Yak fishing. Great clip.

If you can't laugh at yourself, then you need to relax. You were smiling right after, it could have been different if you would have leaned away fronm the hit and turtled........Jack

Sometimes we win, and sometimes the fish wins.

[AbuMasgouf]

LOL! Too funny! I like how you kept your demeanor bro!

[FishingGeek]

I wonder if fish can laugh, if they can, imagine the story that fish is telling his friends..... Glad your ok.
