very jazzed for you jonathan. I would never have been able to hang with that 10 footer lol. But you made it happen, and thats very cool.
WOW!! Amazing! Thought these were only stories in the newspaper. Nice work cutting it up also. Yum
Wow! I read every word of your great fishing battle. That is insane!!!!
Congrats, I'm jealous!
WOW 2 Beasts on light gear. UNREAL. Major Props. U Da Man
................. ................
Thank you for all of your kind words guys, It has been an amazing journey this year. I still cannot believe that I was able to pull it off on light gear and go 3 for 3 on the brutes.
Thanks Vic
I am very glad I got to experience this with one of my best friends thank you Jerry.
Thank you Arthur lets get out there soon before they disappear, I never give up on chasing Toads. See you soon bud.
Stay tuned for my next report about the beast I just landed I am still in disbelief.
I wish we could of buddy boated If you guys ever need any intel give me a call or text anytime. Thanks for the compliments.
Thats true Jeff, if you are out there on the weekend hit me up I would love to buddy boat with you guys and cover some water. I have not fished with you ever since the old school Santa Ana River Lakes days when you me and Brian Friedman was fishing the pipes. That day I had a 39lb stringer looking forward to fish with you again.
Wink.. It already happened.....
It never crossed my mind that I would lose the fish, I stayed focus on getting the fish in a pattern so I could get it to the boat. It was an experience that is etched into my mind for life, I am still in awe and amazed about this past couple weeks.
Thank you for giving me a call to congratulate me Mike, you are correct on a 10' rod its very very hard to gain line or get any leverage on the fish. My back was hurting after that fight but it was all worth it.
Until this fish was landed I too thought it was a story that you only see in the papers. What a year!
