NICE FISH! Well done! Hope your reel is not burned too bad.
I took me around 10 minutes to pull this puppy out of water .... it was pretty intense. I use Daiwa Regal Plus 5500 and the rell performed so, so good ... I was quite impressed.
I went with my buddy today to the Grand. We really don't know these gentlemen, I just took the picture. I hope you like the peacefulness of this awesome September morning ...
