Well ,,,I royally messed up this evening...hooked into an 8 plus....got her out in the middle..after a long fight..she busted for the shoreline and wrapped my 10 pound up and it broke.
Then I hooked into a bigger yet..could not turn the crank..line was stripping like crazy...up she rose totally out of the water and shook free...she would have gone around 9 pounds...what can I say..just glad I wasn't in a tournament
