12lb 9oz Lk Hopatcong Brown trout...

8 lb test and a phoebe I 'm sure it was a long fight. Amazing the line and hooks held up. I'm sure this wasn't the catch the angler was expecting so who knows how or if he really tried to revive the fish. I'm not trying to be judge and jury, there's only one person who knows what really happened. Regardless it's a shame for a trophy fish like that being killed.
