So i had some time to spare after dropping my nephew off at boyscouts said **** it why not the the duct and see if she will show me some love,
only had 1 hour to spare so i hit a spot i havent been to in a while after using my 4 wheel drive to get there water was slightly flowing and i only had 1 lure with me which was a 3/4 oz rattle trap in the deisgn of a stripper but with blue on it.
first cast nothing,
second cast bam swing an a miss,
3rd cast bump bump and then 3rd time he/she engulfed it and was headed west at a dead run,
i am using my 7ft abu garcia veritas, with okuma helios reel, and 17lb vicious flourcarbon line.
im fighting it for about 20 mins back and forth it would get close so i could see the shape then it would run again, eventually after 20 minutes or so, i got it close enough to know it was gonna beat my personal best of 15lbs.
as i get it closer to the side i can see its huge my hearts pumping im screaming cmon baby cmon cmon cmon lmao, and of course i pulled just a little to hard or over the long battle the line frieghed and i lost it and watched it swim away,
as i am screaming foul launguage and asking god why i realize its just another fishing story as many of us have, due to me being retarded and not putting on my gopro which i had charged but left in the truck down the hill and was short on time.
All i can say is that i hopefully will catch him again ill be going back to that spot soon inhopes of it still being around.
My personal best so far.
