Jerry, I’m glad (for your sake) you were able to snag him on the first shot too. You seem like a good guy, I didn’t want to have to find out how far you could swin.
Believe it or not, that fish was caught with a mono leader on a skirt that Fish Liar made that morning before the trip…all tied to a Penn 30 with 30lb test line. Great job by D1 Mate in keeping good pressure on the fish to wear him down. That fish definitely makes you hungry for more.
