Exactly! Maybe even a little extra on the luck part too...

Nice work, one day those might be legal again!

Thanks! If they ever do become legal some day, I can all but guarantee one will never bite my line again lol

Minus the almost getting run over part, it was awesome! And the flag is from Haggard Pirate. They sell pretty cool stuff, worth checking out

It was pretty wild. The release was definitely not as smooth as I would have liked. There was an incident where I thought the fish was done fighting and went to grab the hook and he made a big dive. Fortunately I was super quick to drop the line and grab the rod before the slack line was gone. Didn't have the drag locked down all the way, but I didn't want to find out the hard way that it was still too tight and have it flip me(Chris Belvins, you here??? Need to thank you for your BSB video I literally just watched a couple days prior!!)
