Default Big D Stripes 8/8

Hit the river last night for a couple hours in nice conditions, Started throwing baits and realized I missed one of the eyes on my rod. I contemplated fixing it but man am I glad I did. Next cast BAM BAM BAM DRAG SCEAMING! Fish peeled about 100 yards of line up river on the first run without stopping, I had to run up the shore a little to keep up with her. I had the sudden fear she was going to spool me on 10# test as I could see the metal showing on the spool, Luckily I was able to stop her and regain some line, about 15 minutes later I was able to land a descent river striper, not my biggest but definitely the best fighting, Fish went about 15#, here's a couple pics
