Samson Fish

Samson fish with your Smart Shift SST8 reels on 50# tackle

Rich,

We’ve been fishing the Samson fish with your Smart Shift SST8 reels on 50# tackle. Those fish are typically 20 – 30 kg, and better than 99% are released, though we had one last week that just wouldn’t swim away. We gave it to the local marine research labs because it was outstanding – 53kg (119-lbs).

A while back I mentioned one I got up out of 190m. That fish was released but a photo is attached – just a scan from last weekend’s Sunday paper. That’s an SST8 handle in the background.
