All i can says is miles....not lying...surprised the hell outa me.

Thanks everyone! Im just happy she swam away strong. God was she a beauty, watching her displace the water as she got ready for the strikes. Like a submarine cruising the surface hitting landmines. Took me four attempts to get her to commit. I was trembling after the first attack and she swam back into hiding. 3 More Times she came barreling out like jaws attacking the Orca. The one time i needed a go pro....ugh....all in all it was incredible, i can care less about prizes or awards....im in it for the experience and the science of where, why, and how. What an experience.....

Theres nothing better than seeing a big trout chomp at your lure then getting that connection. Wonderful fish, jimmy!

Great catch! The high water definitely made the fish much more mobile. I bet a lot of clubs lost fish unless they were feeding them.
