Full Tension Fishing---I added a 1 finger video as well. My own technique. Hope it helps.

Already coined as "High Tension Reeling" or "Full Tension Fishing" this technique works on the premise that you are consistently building up your special attack meter while dealing consistent damage to the fish as it gradually takes slack out (you can also land it before depleting all its health).  Depending on your stats you may be able to wrangle in a couple big ones as well.  We can confirm this works both on iPhone and Android platforms and the technique will also prove to be successful while reeling in fish that "revive".  We will provide you with a video in due time!

      A couple of important things to remember while employing this technique are:

• Remember your finger cannot maintain contact with the screen, these are rapid short stroking successions.  (Your finger must touch and release and etc.)
• This should feel rhythmic,  depending on the state of the fish one should apply more rapid successions with shorter strokes if the fish appears unconscious (stunned).
• However if the fish is in an active state,  one should use a less rapid succession.  
• Ultimately, everyone has to get used to their own rhythm according to their stats and setup.
• Test this out on smaller fish before trying with a high monster fish and wasting expensive bait.

Things are constantly changing, but know this....Star rods from Star Seeker Sonic and above can, and always have been able to, FTF. You may find a high end gold rod that can do it, but don't be surprised if that changes quickly.

These are 2 videos I created using a Kindle fire tablet. It uses 2 finger ftf technique that I find remarkable. You will see a Goonch catfish landed in about 20 seconds with over 40% health remaining. I hope this helps everyone to believe these things are possible. When the reel is "gold", I swipe from 6-1. When no longer "gold", move to a 7-12 swipe. One video has full in game audio and the second does not so that you can listen to the rhythm of my fingers on the screen. Turn up the volume for that video.

The newly added 3rd video is using a Galaxy S4. The same technique is used with 6-1 stroke. I have an Ocean Tyrant +14 equipped, along with the mountain set at +0. My attack stat is about 35XX.

Please feel free to comment on this technique!  I understand this may be VERY FRUSTRATING to master.  However, the rewards are great, do not doubt yourself, and if it turns out you enjoy the game without this technique that is just fine.
