First trip at night and THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!

[Mikeps326]

Figured I had my boat for a few years now, I think it was time for me to take it out first night trip and first trip this year on my boat. Got there around 8 and couldn't even get anything to follow. After a few hrs of me getting to know how to fish with the lure I was using I get a nice explosion but loose it. Then my brother catches a largemouth that had to be over 5lbs. About 30 min later I catch my first NJ walleye! Later on in just reeling in my lure when something hooks into my lure and it had to be my strongest and biggest fish to ever be hooked on a lake! I had him for maybe a few seconds and he pulled the drag a little but I didn't have enough time to loosen the drag and snap goes the line. After the line snapped the fish decides to jump, it sounded as if someone my size jumped into the water. So I'm going with a 10lb+ hybrid or a big Muskie. I guess this will be a moment of my life that will haunt me but will be a good story to tell friends and family around the fireplace! Still actually pissed I missed him but hey it's fishing maybe I will get a bigger fish one day! Then my brother did one more cast and caught another largemouth. We called it a night at around 2.
