Problem reeling in big fish. Need help

[sonnycc]

It seems that anytime i hook a large fish my little hands will not turn the crank. Sometimes when i move the rod in certian position or repeatly hit the RMB my little hands will turn. Any suggestions?

RMB will lift your rod and pull the fish slightly closer creating slack that you can reel in at a higher speed. There are many ways to land a fish but, personally, I reel until tension is high then stop reeling and RMB fully then I reel in slack...Reel until tension is high and stop reeling and RMB again and repeat. I do not spam the RMB but do end up using it every few seconds or so.

Go to you tube "fishing planet" and watch a few vid's. Take notice of how those guys making the vid reel their big fishes in. When the rod flicks up they're hitting the right mouse button...but you probably know this?

I forgot to tell you that this only occures when im in florida and with the peacock bass it just seems that my hands wil not turn the crank. i have over 200 hr fishing but it seems that the peacock fish is very hard to land. i do look at u-tube and they have no trouble landing their fish. thank you for trying to help me.
