This monster weighs 31 lbs. Its the biggest one I have ever caught and I got him on 10 lb fluorocarbon and a fineness rod.
It took about 15 minutes to get him to the surface and another 10 or so to get him in the boat.
I was fishing a Bass tournament on my birthday no less.
Awesome! And on lightweight tackle too! Great job getting him in, that isn't something a lot of folks would be able to do. You should be proud of you skills!
