Gone Fishing Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Had a club tourny today and man was it an awesome day on the Rock. We had 15 keepers with an absolute tank for a kicker. We caught our fish on cranks and blades. Needed wind to catch them but it wasn't hard to find. Posted some pics of her and yes she is still swimming. She weighed 8.17lbs at the weigh in. We held up a 15 1/4" fish to compare her to. My question is who does the best replica mounts around and what kind of prices are we talking?

Gone Fishing Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 Thats a beauty. Nice job.. What type & size of line did you use ? Very glad you put her back - a true sportsmsn ! 12lb Seagur line. I am glad no one was videoing us b/c we would be all over the internet on how NOT to land a big fish. She ran under the boat getting stuck under the big motor and stripping out about 70 feet of drag. Then when we finally got her closer to the boat when she made a run for the front deck and then back under the boat. As we were pulling her up for the last time she made one more run and got wedged on the bottom of the TM. I pulled up the TM and somehow the net got tossed in the lake and was about gone before we noticed it. After getting the net the we finally landed her. I had just knew we had lost the fish several times but somehow it all worked out in the end.
