A teen fish on a 'Scotty' ballerina from the mini swap 2 years ago. I'd been saving that one. It's real big and I thought it might take a big fish to take it... I'd never used a ballerina before but I guess if you can walk it, it works.
And complete heartbreak on one of my herring pencils... That's a 6/0mustad stainless siwash and a 6X 3/0 vmc . Looks like I get to join PNG
That fish followed and swiped at that pencil from the point that it landed to within 40 feet of shore. Pushing water with that big head all the way. Must have hit it 10 -12 times before it finally took it. I almost wish I hadn't got to see the fish...
