    He cast the fly therefore he is flyfishing. I can understand if he just payed out his fly line while they were moving but he actually cast the fly. It doesn’t matter if he is trolling his fly (don’t blame him doing hand over hand stripping for saltwater would wear you out before you even had to fight the marlin :D )

    By that standard anyone who doesn’t use an IGFA compliant leader isn’t fly fishing either.

    Oh no! I tied my shock tippet too long! I guess I’d have been just as well off using a massive Penn reel! Please.

    If youre going for a IGFA record then yes it is not fly fishing. Only IGFA requires that the boat is out of gear when the cast is made. If we all followed those rules when we fished then there would not be much catching. Basically he used a fly rod with a real Fly and presented that fly to the fish. That is fly fishing.

  17. Danomite2727 says:

    This guy isnt fly fishing he is trolling with a fly rod!!! That is NOT fly fishing. The boat must be out of gear in order for the catch to be considered a fly catch!
