we were like that with salmon in lake opuha for a season..we called them drags..they would grab a trolled lure and just get dragged long untill you noticed rod no longer bobbing,wound them in and released again,just to do same thing five minutes later....our son caught and wife released NINETY off the shore one afternoon...I was away out of earshot LOL.
they eventually got up to size and was good sport for a season before they got too old and carked it. better than the last season,lake has been toxic pretty much right through...waste of licence money...long way to other lakes to fish and we just dont like them as much so stayed home.
