Some fish are just too big to to land.

Love the chase scene! When a papio chase, would you move the bait faster? Or would you slow it down just a little like what Mark was doing?

Just like peacock bass.... keep moving. If you slow down or stop they turn away.

That explained why a white papio swam away when my plastic came near shore at the end of the retrieve. I ran out of room and was getting ready for the next cast when it came into view following in...but turned away when the lure stopped moving
Next time, I'll bring the fly rod
Got my 10-wt TFO TiCR with a Orvis Battenkill. The salmon were no match for that rod under my control

I've seen Pike and Musky fishermen doing a fast figure-8 at boat side with the lure to get the following fish to bite, pretty exciting to watch, this video reminded me of that.
