Ok here is mine sought of. Was fishing my favorite spot at BI last summer (no not the SW Ledge) I had brought my uncle and his son out, he was ill at the time so it was great medicine. After dragging up a few fish into the 30lb range it was time to let his 16yro have a shot who had never fished before. On the next trolling pass the tube-n-worm wire setup hooks up. The kid is hooked into something big as I see the rod bending like never before, the kid is struggling almost hanging off the boat his dad is holding onto his waist, the fish took him straight down. We asked him if he needed help and he commented "no this is my fish". I kept telling him rod tip up and don't let the line slack, well guess what the first time he let that happen the fish was off (about 5-mins into the fight). We never caught a glimpse of the fish but I would bet a weeks pay the thing had to be mid 40s easy.....I wanted so badly to grab the rod from him and take the fish but it was his turn.......
