I had the biggest Striper on I ever had felt today, I lost em. Must have been at least 40lbs. Conn river. Then had to go to work. Had 20lb test on. Going to bye 50lb right after work.

Rappin Mikey, I lost that very same fish a couple times myself.

He must be a real bugger.

Just kidding. It happens to all of us every now and then.

Man, I feel you, Mike. I lost one on a 2 oz bucktail jig hooked with a femmel eel on Poppy flats. It pulled the femmel eel off the hook.

50# test??? Why don't you just bring dynymite? Kidding. Yeah, I think we've all lost a big one, it's part of the game. Keep trying and you'll get 'em.
