and caught the ones in the last 2 pictures at my picture website. i was on the phone talking to bastid when i hooked (and lost) the one with the yardstick showing the length. luckily he hit again shortly after and didnt get away.
the fish in the top 2 photos were caught in his private lake across the road behind his house. i have had brand new 12# test line snapped like thread in the lake. http://mysite.verizon.net/reswhz6f/id16.html
(bastid, you didnt cause me to loose the fish, i found out spiderwire will spin on the spool if not taped in place on the spool after tying.)
