On Tight Lines last night Bob Roberts said it was a good idea to strike into a fish, stand up and raise the rod as high as possible. Then really crank into the fish because their mouths were like leather.
I saw a Dave Harrell piece on barbel fishing where he recommended keeping barbel low and only lifting when near or ready to net. The reasoning behind this was that the fish were easier to move when on the bottom because of their shape.
Who is right? Or are they both right?
I've not been lucky enough to have had one grace my net yet. Well not from a river!
