i was fishing in the tail race sunday morning. when i hooked up something big and fast. i am guessing striper. he gets me in the "junk yard " section i am about seeing the holes on my spool through the 50 pound calcutta braid he goes around a rusty angle iron piece and boom cuts the braid. the braid is so mangled i had to cut a 2 foot chunk out before retying. ok any line would have been destroyed at this point but #1 i was fighting a 8 mph currant. and even on the fenwick extra heavy pitching stick-lol- i was casting it for giggles.i was have a hard time controlling this fish. i really would have like to seen how big it was. the flood lights in the tail race at 5:15 am are a tad maddening. although i did catch several nice bass that day. and a decent flat head which i ate. i was a tad put out over this fishes getting away. any body working inside the dam it self would have heard the cussing.-maybe even learn a few new words- cause this bad boy really boiled my peanuts big time... weight wise i would guess -figuring in the currant-15 pounds or so.
