My guess was 50-53.... that would be #14...it was a long fight on 15# line, my scale was burried in a locker, the camera was pre set and poised on the dash, and i keep a tape handy there as well, it was more important to me to see her swim free rather than to see her float belly up... |

Normally I would say that boat fish don't count but..... that fish counts, especially because of the light line and even more so because you set her free. Impressive! eel? |

Eel in water that wouldn't come over my knees...these fish are extremly fussy, small bait is critical.. |
