Thanks!

I totally agree. These fish have some shoulders on them!

I fish 10lb and 17lb for all salt water bass. For calicoes I start with the 17lb and switch to 10lb if they are being line shy. Even with 17lb, sometimes you just can't stop them. As you found out they just drag you along and and corn hole you. If I was fishing from a boat I'd be using 30lb+ with the drag buttoned, but then you have way more leverage to pull the fish away. In the yak, sometimes you just have to take your lumps.

What fluke is that? I love that color.

Thanks, Ed.

I have a mental problem tying 20lbs+ line to a 4" bait, but I guess I'll just need to get over that. It may have been my presentation, or it may have been my line, but I can tell you these guys didnt bite by 25lbs and they did bite my 10lbs.

The fluke? Glimmer Blue I think...
