Yea I am waiting because I know Konz and his buddy is going to attempt it.



Konz, I wanted to show you that video so you could get a better idea of it and the fish it can bring up... Alot of cussing in that video. But I would be too if I brought a fish up like that. lol

Default RE: Recommend a gaff for me

I thought about making something similar to that. I like that design better, it is simpler than my idea (a scaled down "tuna missile").The weight of a cliff gaff would not need to be near as much as an ordinary pier gaff, since it slides down the line you don't need the mass to hold the gaff in place and you would want less pressure exerted by the gaff on to the line. It wouldn't have to weigh more than a pound or two to be efficient.



I have held off making something along these lines for two reasons. First I don't have access to a welding machine at the present time. Second, I agree with VS200B about sliding something down a light mono line (10-14# test) with a good sized fish already testing its strength.
