Got bitten off (25lb flouro leader) once by something strong, then switched to 40lb, then taken by the dogs twice around 10am (saw them coming) which was a rush of adrenaline.

Then around noon my reel went vrooom! I was waiting for the twang/snap and the disappointing loss of tension but it never happened. After about 10 minutes I got a glimpse and managed land this without screwing things up.


My first YT and my personal best fish [emoji1]

Really nice fish!
You deserved it!
Thanks for sharing!

Anyone else getting fish out there that you saw?

Side note, I think your subject says 1/14/16.... I assume you meant 2017? haha
