SBer goes big with a new PB
 
Have it on good authority that a contributing SB member got a new PB this morning... For all the hard work he puts in, it was only a matter of time. Maybe if we're lucky he'll chime in with a photo :hidin:

48 inches and 36.4 pounds. Longest fish for me but the empty stomach cost me my first 40! Still topped my previous pb of 35#. Will try to post but a pic later but my laptop crashed.

Yes. Whole squid used as a lure. My patented "twitch" and pause allowed me to watch her grab it. That was the longest 7 seconds of my life waiting to set that hook!

Nice fish. 48 but only 36.5 LB , you got robbed!

Congratulations on the new PB!! Very interesting that you got her actively fishing a whole squid, something else I may have to try one of these days.

Probably fought like an SOB, those skinnier fish are athletic like you read about. That's what it's all about anyway, the fun of the fight, after that it's just a number.

Way to go, now go catch another one. Good to see they're moving into the north country...

Good battle as she took a couple good runs. Gave several wicked head shakes but I had her hooked in the roof of the mouth.

Awesome job! Lots of satisfaction with a PB. Sounds like you knew you were into a good fish during the fight. Such an exciting time, knowing you are tethered to this brute.

Congratulations! Very cool, interested in the technique.
