Forgot to post this in the thread… from a St. Croix trip on 9/9/12.
46×16 for 16 lbs out of 25-30 FOW on crawlers. Hooked 2 that night, only one made it into the boat. Saw the other one, it was about 36″, smaller than the one we boated… but it fought 10 times harder…
Lost it due to a combination of aft anchor rope, bow anchor rope and operator error.
Oh well… at least we saw the fish AND we boated the big one. For once it was the little one that got away!
