Ok, since Nils is not near a puter' most of this week I'll tell ya' what I know and he can fill in the rest - Although it is best if you see him tell it in person! Just can't make the eyes BUG OUT like he does!
Any way... As I hear it... He was paddlin' his T-160, trolllin' a TnW on one rod and had a white Ledgerunner on the other. (You should see what that Ledgerunner looks like now!) So, he hooks up with a striper on the TnW and handles it. Then he figures he should bring the rubba' in to see if it needs cleanin'. So, he grabs the rod and starts crankin' it in, good and fast. Then... WHAM!
He can describe the fight, or clear up anything I "made up" ...
But, he said that when he got the fish to the side of the yak (here's where his eyes BUG OUT) that the head on that blue looked like a big striper!
He put the Boga on it and raised it up, over his head. (He is like 6'4".) He looks at the scale and sees 21+lbs! But, then he looks down at the tail and sees it's still in the water!!! (Buggy eyes again!)
Since he's not into having blues chompin' on
the gems , he let it go without a measure or true weight. But it was a goodin'!
