![]() I will get out the video camera when I spool the next reel up this way. Just thought it was worth mentioning to those looking for a different method. Andy Mill also added many anglers today fishing oceanside for tarpon in the Keys, where Pate did the majority of this fishing, use only 40- or 50-pound shock tippets. Jerry uses about twice as many fiber strands to make up his lines. The IGFA reached out to Sandy Moret and IGFA Trustee Andy Mill - two icons in the fly fishing world - to learn more about his timeless piece from the IGFA’s archives. ![]() The feel of the line is like the difference of burlap and silk. It is slightly more expensive than say Powerpro but is a much much better line. Conventional guys are using this line and doing the same thing with the leader end on 1000lb Tuna!! When doing the 200lb+ tuna thing on the fly the knot is usually the culprit of a lost fish. It has that chinese handcuff effect on the fly line. Whip the butt end if you like and you are done. I use the 65lb hollow core (about 500 yrds on the 11/13 Torrent Reel) Then take the butt end of the fly line and feed about 4-5 feet inside the hollow core spectra backing. If you use this line for backing there is no need for a knot at all. There is a popular spectra line on the market mainly being used by the conventional guys. For now, just enjoy.A little off topic but I just thought I would mention something new I started doing this last year. One day, I'd guess he may be studied the way another young filmmaker (his seminal work rhymes with "Gilligan Rain") was a generation ago. I saw Howard at a film festival explain some of his "tricks" for getting his shots. These guys clearly went for it, and I hope this was not the last time. Helicopter shots, underwater shots, weeks on the water. One of Mill’s favorite memories of Bush is from the mid-’90s.

He chased bonefish, but his dream was to land a tarpon in the Florida Keys. Perhaps it required both a fisherman and a filmmaker to finally capture it. Mill, a two-time Olympian in downhill skiing and one of the most decorated tarpon anglers in the world, remembers Bush as a saltwater fanatic. They've waited patiently while flipping to other sports. The angling public has channel surfed in desperation on weekends. Yet, NO ONE ever sorted out how to do it. A generation has waited to see the "magic" of fishing. Howard's work it's actually fair to say that seeing his short films for the first time is like seeing other famous director's before they were household names. If you are an angler or acquainted with Mr. Something that is much harder to do than one would think - until they watch a lifetime's worth of fishing programs. Somehow the film makes us feel as if we can steal their secrets, feel their pain, and eavesdrop on the intimacies of their day, and luxuriate in serious cinematic images. He’s a fixture on the Keys tournament circuit as well as. Andy literally wrote the book on tarpon fishing (A Passion for Tarpon, Wild River Press), and this is so true, especially now. Howard peers at the obsession from the sky and the water- at all hours. Ski legend Andy Mill popped in the shop recently, and something he said really stuck with us: Nowadays, we’ll never be as good as our equipment. How bad is the obsession? All anglers relocated to Florida because of the fish in question - and two of the three are now divorced. The director, Howard, follows Andy Mill, an ex-Olympic skier, and one of the best tarpon fisherman ever to cast a fly rod (note: a tarpon is an ancient saltwater sport fish), and a small band of other tarpon obsessed anglers up and down the Keys in search of migrating tarpon. The mini-series (set in The Florida Keys) is a blast. The following film was shot over a 2 day period in Florida while Hardy field tested their SINTRIX rods with 5 time gold cup tarpon tournament winner Andy Mi.
