Lately I've been fishing with plugs and I enjoy the fight I get with the fish. I see your point about the fish peeling line away from me but quite honestly fish dont only swim in one direction. Plenty of times the fish will even swim at the boat believe it or not . If your method works for you and you enjoy it then that's what it's all about. But it's not the only method.I fish alone, moocher, fish 3 rods. I hit a fish, slip it into neutral quickly reel other 2 rods in with free hand, off i go chasing the fish staying on top of it and not going in the opposite direction at 3-4 mph with a **** pot full of line out as you keep steering farther and farther from the fish. Personally i don't see the fun in playing a fish that way, is it a fun fight with the motor in gear, is it the fish you are playing or just line going out as you keep going.
