Way to go, now go catch another one. Good to see they're moving into the north country...

Thanx everyone. Hoping to find another in the morning. Hopefully with a belly!
Technique? It was slack water and I was basicallly using the whole 7 inch squid like a sluggo; ripping it quickly until it got to within say 10 yards of me; then I let it sink down before twittching it up to me. First twitch up she whooooshed in and grabbed the squid. Ii opened the bail and counted 7 with line flying off the reel. I flicked the bail closed and set the hook hard. Two solid runs up-river then she stopped; shook her head repeatedly and I worked her back to me. Stayed deep until just in front of me but when she surfaced I knew it would be close for the Pb. Great experience. Need a 40!
