A fish of a life time slipped by me. Had her on for close to a minute as she ran without letting me gain on her once. Then the split ring gave on the belly hanger. Definitely the biggest fish I have had on. I probably would have been spooled or broken off when I came close to the backing and cupped the spool. This was Wednesday and I
keep replaying it over in my head. ARRGHHH! Got a 26# fish on a popper Saturday morning and this thing would have eaten it for breakfast. I feel blessed to have hooked into it, especially in Western MA. I never saw it, but I know.
