Fighting Chair Techniques

Fighting chair technique separates successful big game anglers from those who burn out halfway through the battle. When you're hooked up to a 500-pound marlin or a giant bluefin tuna, proper positioning in the chair isn't just about comfort. It's about leverage, endurance, and preventing serious back or shoulder injuries that can end your fishing day or worse.

Our fighting chair fishing video courses teach you the fundamentals that charter captains and tournament anglers rely on when battling trophy billfish and tuna. You'll learn how to:

  • Position your body and adjust the footboard for maximum leverage
  • Work with the harness and gimbal to let the chair do the heavy lifting
  • Manage drag settings and rod angles throughout extended fights
  • Transition between pumping and reeling without losing ground
  • Apply proper fighting chair technique for marlin, yellowfin tuna, and other powerful gamefish

These big game fishing techniques focus on efficiency and safety, showing you how experienced anglers can fight fish for hours without exhausting themselves or risking injury.
