It feels slow, until it’s not. A massive Napoleon Wrasse materializes out of nowhere, inspects your fly or bait, and then with one heavy turn, it eats. What follows isn’t a blistering run, but a deep, powerful tug-of-war with a fish that knows exactly how to use its weight, structure, and strength to its advantage.
