What a fight, and good test on equipment at least I know what my 14' BnM will handle.
I have had Vertigo for the last week finally got treated and decided to go out on Friday and see if I was ok. I caught 28 crappie only 6 were keepers about normal for this year. Did catch 4 catfish and a coupe of large gar. Don't know how a missed catching a drum it was that kind of day. I caught this ugly sucker while tolling 8 rods 2 were down rods. It took 250 off of my reel before I could get it slowed down. I fish by myself so I left everything else in the water and slowly turned toward it until I finally got it close enough to net it. It has my apple red bomber in its tail with both hooks. Have no idea what it weighed. It was 38 inches long. It met my ice hammer and I sent it back. Caught it on a 14 foot bnm prostaff with 12# solar trilene.
