Congrats! Gonna have a graphite replica made?

Dont know if your familiar with the Rapala comercials played on the radio. I cant help but think thats what was going through your head when you were fighting that fish.

Is there any feeling in the world like when a big fish turns on you, and suddenly you realize you are on for a fight in which the fish has the upper hand?

Hey very nice FISH congrats on a ultralight to boot great job. I,ve got friends who have caught 10plus on light tackle but I always get my line broke. You my friend are a true fisherman congrats again.

Good catch, way to go!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. it truly was a thrill. To answer a couple of questions
a). I think it took about 8 minutes to land, thankfully I was away from structure in 17' of water, and she didn't bury down in the hydrilla.
b) I didn't take time to get her measurements, only weight. We weighed her twice, took pics, removed plug, took more pics, all the time reviving her in the water. I wanted to make sure she was strong when we released her. I've got a nice 8 x 10 of her on my wall!
