Well, I was trying to be stubborn and avoid this topic because of the author, but I guess I'll give in.

Back in August I caught this fish, without even cranking the big motor or even putting the trolling motor down. It was kind of funny because my buddy launched the boat and I made a cast as the boat was sliding off the trailer, he went to park and I nailed this fish. Even on a big rod, she stripped my drag under the dock and the fight lasted 5 minutes. I was screaming at my buddy to come and help me land the fish, but he was busy parking. He finally made it back by the time I lipped her, and there was quite a few people watching by that time. It was pretty cool. And to top it all in the classy department, I was wearing the flannel shirt.
