i was out northern fishing this past sunday morning and boy oh boy were they down there. i had my camera on one sucker in the house watching that and every once in a while taking a glance down at the sucker next to me. all of a sudden while i was looking at the closer sucker in rolled this head. ive seen some big northerns down there and i have cought my share of some pretty nice ones too. let me tell you this fish made my 42 incher from two years ago look like a chump. this thing was unbelievable. anyways she drilled my sucker and took off. i knew it was a big fish so i let her run with it for a little while to make sure that hook was good and deep. i set the hook on what felt like a brick wall. the fisht was on. at first she was coming in pretty easy. i got the head to the bottom of the hole and she gave me all i could take. the braided line i was using flew through my hands so fast it have me string burn. she stopped and i started bringing her in again. When out of nowhere off she went again this time everything went limp. i knew i lost her but could not figure out how untill i got the hook back into the house. The pig straightened my circle hook almost as straight as an arrow. i still had some kind of fish skin stuck to the barb wether it was the northerns or suckers ill never know but you can bet friday on my day off ill be back at it again!
