Yes sir.....she was a beauty! They say "what does not kill us makes us stronger"......also perhaps a bit wiser? My guess is next time she does not fare so well.......I hope its soon! I think her rubbing on the bottom put a nick in the line above the leader.......I wish I could have tired her a bit more but she was rubbing and I knew it so I had to get her off the bottom......almost got her......almost......almost!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Or you dropped your rod tip, had too lose a drag, tied crappy knots

Then again, perhaps I'm not the one to talk

No question....I did everything right......I just lost. Drag was good, knots were good, no doubt it was a rub on the bottom compromised the line. Like I said would like to have worn her out a bit more but knew she had me on the bottom.

You trying to pick the scab Spence? Its all good.....it was fun though a bit disappointing.
