My girlfriend and I played hookie from work the other day. I haven't got a line wet in sometime so I was way excited to go. Decided to go to RSM Lake for the evening bite using hotdogs for bait. I got all my lines tied up, and on my 1st cast my Citica wasn't working properly, so grabbed the Cardiff tossed it out and realized it had a blown bearing ( ^%*^%, well at least shimano is close to the house). So I was left with my shimano 2000 spinning combo w/2lb. test. At least my girls rod was working properly with 12lb spooled up. We weren't there but 10 min when my girl got her 1st run! Swing and a miss. Then I got a run, swing hookset SNAP! another 30 min go by when my chicks line takes off, she sets the hook and the fight was on. As I'm coaching her from the sidelines this fish was not wanting to give up. Drag is peeling sometimes for 100 yards or so. Well after 15-20 minutes Larry ( is what she named it ) is finally ready for the photo opp. Of course no scale but I guess'd it at 20 lbs easy. Nice and fat ( wish I had my scale ) Take a guess if you'd like.

I had to take a photo with the monster as well.
