yeah he was a big mofo....i wrestled him 25 mins as he was bending a 10ft surf pole like it was a twig ...i had 15lb testline on him so i basically reeled him in and pushed the button give him slack til he wore himself out ...after 25mins of that the wife netted him with 2 nets like tongs one on each end threw him up on shore and waited til early morn to turn him in on the tournament which he took 1st on we was pulling them in all day in some hot and humid weather upper 90's from bottom with shrimp, bluegill and night crawlers, chicken livers when it cools down we all fish bout 10-42inches deep and slay them all night and all morning but when its hot above 80F it seems they like it on bottom atleast thats what we did last night seemed to work ...
most the time i do shitty when its hot out
