The Mahi Hogtie is a secret now fellas and should be treated as such. If word gets out we no longer get to laugh when they go apesh*t on other peoples boat
Its easy to do but difficult to refine. I saw a guy on Norm Isaac's BGFW do it in about 3secs from start to finish and it was a beautiful thing. Best technique Ive found is to grab the leader and detach it from the mainline(you can do this after the tie-up also but I find it easier before). Then grab the tail and force the fish into the back corner of the boat, it will naturally bow up. Get about 4-5 wraps leaving a hole/gap in the last wrap to feed the leader back into creating a hitch, repeat if necessary. Turn around, give a sh*t-eatin grin and ask why they haven't got lines back in the water yet
