I've learned that sticking the rod tip down (in a kayak) at too steep an angle is counterproductive, since once that fish dives again you can't control the slack.

Instead, when a fish starts zooming up for the sky, just hold your rod close and parallel to the water, and when the fish actually breaks surface dip your rod tip just slightly while maintaining pressure...once the fish lands, your rod angle is back to up/down immediately.

Fun fish: they dig, they jump, and sometimes they fake you out!
