Sounds like my kind of fight.

 

Well done in landing it. What happened to your reel?

 

I dont really know what happened to the reel, but for a reel meant to be paired with the ML that came in the combo im not surprised though.

 

 

sweet! did you get scratched by the scutes? did they itch?

 

Yeah i did get scratched by the spikes (or scutes?) on the side, the reason i had to grab her like that was because when i grabbed it by the tail it kicked and almost knocked me into the water, with the fish so i decided this would be the better choice, but no they didnt itch, only thing that itched from the weekend was the bug bites.

I caught one two yrs ago on the Ottawa while tubing a shoal for sm bass. I felt a hit and set the hook and the fight was on. It towed my bass boat 100 yrds into deeper water and then turned around and towed me back to the shoal. When I got her up to the boat my jig was about 1 inch above her tail. I had no net and had to tail her. Finally got her in the boat a weighed her on my digital scales and she was 38 lbs. Awesome fish Corey way to go.
