I can't use DEET - it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache.
I tip my hat to the old-timers who handlined for cod or any other big fish.
I once pulled a 30 lb. cod up from the bottom in 300 ft. of water off Gloucester MA. with a boat rod and it took me twenty minutes to do it... then I had to rest for almost as long.
