I probably had the best fish of the leg, but I kept it, so I'm SOL (not the website

. Somehow, despite the fact that the drag on my Nautil was almost locked, it loosened up about 30 seconds into the fish

The fish was almost drowned after 10-15 minutes on the hook, including a full 3 hung on the bottom. Mac had time to walk to the truck, grab some water, and walk back and the fish was still somewhere out there in parts unknown. "Is that the same fish you had when I left???"
43" and 27-1/2#on slip's hand scale, 24.75# this AM at M&Ds. I don't know whether it'll temporarily put in into the top 10 for s-b in the OTW Cup. It won't last there long, I'm sure, if it even makes it now.
Later on, I tried to match Mac for the starfish division, but fell about 3 short
