It's obvious he tried to horse him in. Shoulda loosened the drag a bit when the bear made that first run 8-).

I do not know about that character. Seems to have more guts than brains. Shades of Timothy Treadwell.

All I got from Lefty's posts are "error occurred, try again later."

If you do that in Katmai National Park you face fines or even jail. If a bear proceeds to take a fish from your line you have to cut the line immediately. They don’t want bears considering fishermen or humans in general as a food source. That video could have taken a turn for the worse in the blink of an eye.

Swede; True story
Fishing Prince of Wales, Thorne river a long time ago. I hooked a 150 bear with a silver and blue Blue Fox Spinner , the little boar broke off and I got my spinner back too
