Paul,
Sorry for gaffing you off :lol: , my gaff is short (12 inch) so I have to get real close to the fish to get a good shot on it, and with the monster you hooked, thrashing about, I couldnt reach it. It's a good size for gaffing my own fish but not long enough to really get someone else's. I may have to get a longer one, or sprinkle some Enzyte on it :P
I knew in the morning you were in for a "big-fish day" when you said you left your camera and gaff at home, I said you'd get a big fish (leave your camera and gaff home next week too).
At first I didn't think you were hooked up, I thought you were stuck on the bottom--until you started heading South at the rapid rate. I told you that was my "lucky rod." Last year it killed a lot of fish, even though I got a bunch of crap for using a "coffee grinder."
All in all a great day on the water, I doubt we'll see another day like that for a long time--at least until the YT start biting.
Steve
