i hooked a nice one the middle of last week on a bucktail. came pretty close to the mono backing on abu 6500, swimming UP some nasty current. dropped him a few seconds after i fianlly had him turned.
also had one on like 2 days ago, fish just ran a few feet after i hooked him and wouldnt be moved for a good 10 seconds in real strong current, then popped the hook. i bet the thing didnt even bother him.
it would be nice to catch a fish above 35" for a change.
