Well, I thought I had a great day yesterday so I told my buddie who can use a nice pike on his line & he was game for today. Waited till he actualy lost a fish to throw mine so he had better of a chance. But I wasn't goin be just watchin him. So, threw my lure bout 15-20 times n hooked her. She felt big right off the bat with my strong ass pole bent like me on new years. About a 10-15 minute fight n my buddy A helped with a no crash landing. It felt great!! I'm sure its my pb, it wieghed about 22-23 lbs I'd say without a scale. I'm on ur tail J.V.. TIGHT LINEZ FELLAZ!!!
