Caught this 25.71 pounder on 12/20 over at the east damm. The funny thing is I caught it on power bait, four pound test and a size ten hook. I didn't have my watch of cell phone with me but I'm guessing it took me a solid half hour to bring in.

SWEET! that is awesome on the light tackle musta been one hella of a fight, you probably hooked a trout and this sucker came along and grabbed him, I have seen that happen when people are fishing trout in freshly stocked city lakes. Hook a trout and next thing you know there is a huge bass with a tiny gold treble hook on the line.
