So, hit Lincoln this morning at about 5:30 and headed out west of the orchards. I was dragging a wb head when I got a snag and had to stop long enough to shake my rod in an attempt to dislodge the snag , no luck so slipped the electric into reverse and went back to unsnag or break off. Started back and realized I was not gaining on the "snag." Tightened the line and the 'snag" took off for Bird Island with my drag smokin'. I could tell I had a good fish on and we went the rounds for 10-15 minutes while I tried to gain on him. Every time I got him close enough to see me he would put on a long run and the fight would start over. Several trips around the boat, dodging the electric and the outboard and finally got the net under him. Almost more than I could lift with one arm. Got him in the boat and knew I had a good one... had to stuff him in the live well.
Back at the launch I got a tape on him and he just touched 34 inches, a personal best. Threw him on the scales and he was just over 20 pounds. Not quite the 36 incher I have been chasing for years but I am getting closer. Best part of the catch was the release.
