I hit one Monday night. A great battle, just under an hour on spinning gear.

Nice fish! About 60 lbs? Did you cast to it? I'll bet those drag washers need to be changed....

Yeah, I was casting to them. I lost the first one after about 5 minutes (spit the hook). I am not sure of the weight. My scale only goes to 60, and it was much heavier than that. I am guessing 80lb or so, maybe more. I took the reel apart, and surprizingly the drag washers weren't too bad.
